Around Roof Vents
Sealant around vents and fans shrinks and cracks, letting water in at the corners.
Leaks, sealant, and storm damage
RV Roof Repair in New Orleans
RV roof repair in New Orleans usually starts after a hard rain finds a gap. Tropical storms and summer downpours push water into seams, vents, and the front cap, and strong sun dries out sealant between storms. We come to your driveway or storage lot, find where the water is getting in, and reseal or patch it before the damage reaches the ceiling, walls, and subfloor.

Hurricane Rain, Summer Storms, and Strong Sun
New Orleans gets more rain than almost any major U.S. city, much of it in heavy summer downpours and tropical systems that drive water sideways into seams that stay dry in a normal shower. Between storms, strong sun and heat dry out lap sealant and roof membranes. An RV stored in an open lot all season takes the full brunt of both.
Where RV Roofs Usually Leak
At the AC Base
A flattened gasket under the rooftop AC lets water drip through the ceiling grille.
Front and Rear Caps
Wind-driven rain finds gaps where the caps meet the roof and sidewalls.
Along the Edges
Edge trim and its sealant work loose, especially after a storm with strong wind.
Skylights and Antennas
Anything mounted through the roof is a possible leak point as sealant ages.
Soft Spots Underfoot
A spongy roof deck means water has reached the plywood and needs attention before the rot spreads.
Finding the Leak, Then Sealing It
We start on the roof, checking every vent, seam, edge, and penetration for cracked or lifted sealant, then probe the deck for soft spots and look inside for moisture trails. Failed lap sealant comes off and gets replaced with Dicor or a comparable self-leveling product, and damaged EPDM or TPO membrane gets patched. The rooftop air conditioner's gasket is one of the most common leak points, which ties into RV AC Repair, and getting a roof sealed is a natural part of storm prep along with RV Generator Repair. It's part of our on-site RV repair around New Orleans, from storage lots in Belle Chasse to driveways in Algiers.

Before You Climb Up There: Roof Questions
Should I check my RV roof after a tropical storm?
Yes, even if you don't see a stain inside. Wind-driven rain gets into gaps a normal shower never reaches, and a slow leak can soak the roof deck for weeks before it shows. A check soon after the storm is far easier than replacing rotted wood later.
How often should RV roof sealant be inspected?
Most manufacturers recommend at least twice a year, and RVs kept outdoors in this climate benefit from more frequent checks. Look around vents, the AC base, skylights, and the front cap for cracks or gaps. We can do the inspection at your driveway or storage lot.
Can you repair EPDM and TPO RV roofs?
Yes. We patch and reseal both rubber EPDM and TPO membrane roofs, along with the sealant around everything mounted on them. Call (504) 766-5055 with your RV's make, model, and where you've seen water.
