At Ainsworth Trailer Repair of Denver, some of the customers who come to see us for OEM quality trailer roof repairs only do so after spending valuable time and hundreds of dollars trying to solve a leak themselves. In these days of ubiquitous Internet access, all manner of do-it-yourself “quick fixes can be found.
We will never discourage trying to fix a problem for yourself. A lot of repairs can be made if you are handy and have the right tools and know how. However, trailer roof repair, and box truck or RV roof repairs, are often way more complex jobs than they first appear to be and your smart phone is no substitute for decades of trailer roof repair experience.
The problem with leaking trailer and cargo area roofs is that where you see the water appearing streaked upon the walls or puddled upon the deck often bear little relation to the origin of the leak. This is especially true when the interior panels are clad by additional riveted exterior panels. Anywhere there is a rivet or a seam in a trailer roof is a potential leakage point. Anywhere the roof meets the walls is another possible trouble area. Finally, anything that penetrates the roof, like a skylight, a vented fan, or other feature, is another possible leakage spot.
Worse yet, clad panels can allow water in at a point far removed from where it appears in the cargo area. When this is the case, you are only seeing a fraction of the total water intrusion. The rest of it is trapped between the panel and the exterior cladding, where it could be inducing rot and/or mold problems that eventually appear as even larger problems.
At Ainsworth Trailer Repair of Denver we have the shop space, the mechanical experience, and the manpower available to expertly trace and make permanent trailer roof repairs. Unlike at a truck stop, we don’t merely patch over your leaking roof. We will remanufacture either a section or an entire troublesome roof panel. We can add a waterproofing membrane to a trailer or cargo box roof, or to a RV roof, which lacks one. We will also cut out rotting roof supports, replace the damaged panel, and then make precision cuts to remount the skylight, fan, air conditioner, or other roof mounted features to a like new condition. We also don’t just rely on rivets, but similar to how the trailer was manufactured, we also may adhere panels together and then place the rivets, so there’s no void for air or rain to seep between the two pieces.
