DIYNate shares a quick video on how he uses roof sealant (Black Jack, Henry’s, Liquid Nails, DAP, Roofer’s Choice, Flex Seal, or other roof wet patch products) to fix a water leak when a nail has pierced a shingle on roofs of his rental property and water is coming in from the holes (this is a quick DIY fix vs. the full 'right way' to fix and fully ensure the shingle looks good from the outside when done).

In this video, DIYNate shares his approach to using a roof seal product to solve a water intrusion issue (leak) coming from the roof down the beam on the inside of the roof and coming theough the ceiling. He uses roof leak sealant / patch that is in a caulk / tube style format.
The steps include:
1. Identify that you have a leak from a nail pop (nail that has come up from the roof decking) and has broken through the shingle.
2. Confirm this is the problem spot where water is coming in (sometimes, just because one nail appears to be the problem, there may be other nearby trouble spots where water is coming in.
3. Determine which approach to use (pull out the old nail or poind in the nail or put a new nail in its place) and deal with thr nail.
4. Clean the area around the nail and underneath and around the hole (we are cleaning the area to make sure the roof sealer / tar will adhere to the underlying shingle)
5. Cut open the sealant tube (caulk style tube) and pierce the seal on the inside (or use an existing tube by repiercing the seal - that is what DIYNate does in this video - uses the final dregs of a roofing sealant tube which is great since this is just a very small job for sealant / tar.
6. Put the tube into a caulk gun and squeeze to activate the sealant / tar and apply around the area and directly into and over the hole and underneath the shingle where both shingles overlap.
7. Use a flat blade to smooth and smear the sealant / tar around the area and making sure to not create major bumps or uneven spaces that would cause water to enter. Note, the more care you take with this step thr less noticeable your work will be. DIYNate didnt soend too much time making his shingle repair look pretty since it was on the back of the house and it was a hot day.
8. Apply pressure for a period of tome (check the sealant label for soecifics; smooth remaing / excess sealant / tar.
9. Deal with your interior water issues after confirming the sealant has solved the problem.
Note that some roofs have warranties that may have exclusions around homeowner’s making repairs / this type of repair so be aware of that - but this will likely solve your problem (DIYNate assumes no liability).
Good luck - hope this repair works well for you! Nothing like dealing with a leaking roof to disrupt your life, but... it has to get better from there!
