Building Leaks
Building leaks are typically one of the first signs pointing to the fact that your
building needs some attention. Such leaks can be caused by a variety of factors,
including faulty seams, construction material failure or simply repeated exposure to
the climate (whether it be extreme heat, cold or precipitation). Regardless of the
reason, building leaks allow moisture to penetrate, progressively weakening the
structure. If untreated any leak can rapidly and exponentially become a costly job to
fix.
Repairing Building Leaks With Eternabond
 Some building leaks are obvious
while others may be more difficult to find. Nevertheless, once the leak is discovered
it is imperative to use a fast, efficient and long lasting solution. To that end,
Eternabond was developed as an effective alternative to more traditional building
repair materials. In fact, not only is Eternabond easier to use than its counterparts,
it actually does the job better and lasts much longer.
At its most basic, Eternabond is
a leak repair tape. From the outside it looks no different than a standard butyl adhesive
tape. In truth, Eternabond is constructed with one of the most aggressive adhesive materials
available, called a MicroSealant. MicroSealants are virtually invisible to nature which
means they will last longer, are less effected by temperature swings, and are compatible with
far more materials. The MicroSealant's design allows it to hold perfectly onto a wide variety
of materials, including rubber, plastic(s), tar and shingle, concrete and masonry, glass,
fiberglass and metal. In fact, once Eternabond is in place it will stay in place--providing a
perfect seal for any building leak. Because of its unique formulation, it is able to fuse to
several dissimilar materials at the same time, maintaining its seal and adhesion as the
different materials expand and contract at different rates.
Beyond its phenomenal
adhesive capabilities, Eternabond was also designed to withstand the rigors of shifting
climates. Eternabond has an elongation factor of 500% (WebSeal) to almost 800% (RoofSeal) and
beyond that (DoubleStick). This means that it will maintain its seal even as a building
expands and contracts during temperature changes. Available at many roofing distributors, RV
distributors, and hardware stores, or, for added convenience it can be ordered directly via
