    Check your roof for flat spots where you can have standing water.
    With a flat roof water basically has no place to go hence peaked roofs with gutters and downspouts. If you could lift one side and seal all the others with walls think your problems would go away.
    A good roofer can tell you how its done, course all the grunt work goes on under the roof,if you have the room. House I have now had no gutters nor downspouts. Walk out the door instant shower.
    That lasted until I saved up enough money and a neighbor who did such work set things up. Back then it cost a couple grand.Which I thought was crazy, but my buddy who does good work high ladders humping up drainpipe and all the other stuff adds up. Frank

    I have used about every kind of roofing caulk that can be bought. By far the best is called geo cell, it sticks to anything and seems to not be affected by weather at all. I used it 3 years ago to patch a hole I poked in the cement siding on the house, it still looks like I put on yesterday.

    By the way knocking a hole in the siding with a excavator didn't amuse her.

    It's a flat roof with a pitch of I'd say 16" over 22'.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Through the roof is a great one and it comes in a tube or a can. Its pricey but it works...………………..curdog

    It's thick , black with fibers and is applied with a small trowel ...wear gloves and old clothers ...the stuff doesn't was out ...covers holes and stops leaks and dries to a firm flexible patch .
    It will stick to anything , metal , shingles or clay tile roofing .

    Get the old stock good stuff, fibered roofing compound, the one marked with "asbestos"----can't be any worse than playing with lead----

    Used that fibered roofing compound 50+ years ago and I'm still here.

    Can't be any worse that the vintage advertisement I saw for an asphalt road materiel using asbestos fibers to re-enforce the road!

    Get some butyl tape. Windshield installers should have it. Ball a piece up, and push it over the hole.
