About this service
Roofing tar is a thick, black, adhesive substance used to seal small cracks, patch around chimneys, or secure flashing. It acts as a quick, temporary fix for active leaks or as a sealant for vulnerable joints. While it is useful for minor maintenance, it is not a long-term solution for large-scale damage. If you find yourself using tar frequently in the same spots, it is usually a sign that your roof system needs a more permanent repair or professional inspection.
