Sealing Ladder and Rail Mounting Points
I've searched through the thousands of "roof seal" posts and have a pretty solid strategy for seams, vents, etc. My issue is with the ladder where it attaches to the roof as well the attachment points...

I had a leak in my ladder on the roof. What I did was take the bolts out and found two of them were rotted out. I moved the mount out of way and drilled the holes out to good wood. Don't go deeper than the screws.
I then used wood dowels and epoxed them in the hole. After they set up ( next day ) I put the mounts back and screwed the old ones down. Drilled the dowels so new screws fit nice and screwed them in.
Used eitherbond tape to cover everything up and self leveling dicor to seal the seems. Three years no leaks.
Hope this helps.
