Emergency Roof Fix

[Stucco]

What can I do until a longer-term solution is available, please?

The roofing material blew up last night, and it's going to get very gusty for the next few days. I flipped it back down nailed down the perimeter.

Wondering if some kind of goop would make sense to put on this? Functional/waterproof is more important than pretty.

Regarding the moisture, I'm in semi-arid western Colorado.

The garage is very old, not a nice garage, but I don't want additional damage.

Is that rolled roofing ?

Blue tarp if it's going to be wet.

If it's dry, I don't see the need to add any protection.

Lots of people here use blue tarps as semi permanent repairs. The worn fringe is a decorative touch.

there is also a few other products to choose from.

Dab it under as you roll the roof back into place, then cover the crack. You can sweep the pebbles on top to help hide the repair.

Use some mastic on the edges

If you plan to reroof and only want a temporary “quick fix “

this will work dump some out on the roof and roll it out, it will take a couple coats - 1st coat go thin so it bonds and dries!

Tarps only work if they go over the top of the ridge, or if they go under the roofing material so water flows under them. A lot of people just throw a tarp on top of the roofing material so water just flows under the tarp.

I use Henry 505 for repairs. It's heavy and won't run but spreads easily w a trowel. You can put it under the torn piece to hold it down. And then on top to seal the tears.

I can't tell from pic is that black section the underlayment or is it on top of the tan roofing? It its underlayment you can buy a roll of asphalt roll roofing pretty cheap and glue it down over the underlayment. Can add a few nails to keep edges down but cover any exposed nails with the glue/mastic/tar.

Yes, I think it is, but I'm pretty clueless about roofing/materials. It came in big rolls when some guys put it on.

The black is underneath. The nails were all exposed along that top edge, so good to know that I should cover them.

Thank you all, I truly appreciate your help! Any thoughts on if I need to open it back up to dry everything out before putting goop on it, or is that water okay?

I have repaired many roof leaks with Henry’s and Fly Screen.
First nail down any loose edges, then sweep away any loose dust and debris. Next dilute the Henry’s emulsion with a suitable thinner, gasoline will work, for a first coat a water consistency will allow good penetration. As soon as the solution dries cut the fly screen to allow an overlapping cover and apply more emulsion diluted to a creamy consistency. A final layer of full strength Asphalt Emulsion completes the process.
This is just like Doping and Fabricing an Airplane.

my insurance company took care of it when that happened to me.
