Roof Depression

[ianmac23]

Hello

I need advise on my 2011 Keystone Passport. Over the weekend when I was up on the roof I noticed a depression in the roof. It is the size of a football and goes down a quarter of an inch. I don't think there is a leak there. It is surrounded by was feels like good wood. It is not around anything like a sky light. What should I do? I do have an extended warranty that does not seem to pay for anything. I have a picture but do not remember how to post it.

Thanks for the help

It is possible that a branch or some other object caused a small rip in your roof. I'd check the area very carefully for any small slices which would allow water in and lead to rot and soft spots in your roofing material. I discovered a very small slice in my rubber roof last spring. I caught it early enough and just put a patch over it.

One way to look at it is they use rubber to make swimming pools and fish ponds. That is what you have.

As long as there is no seam or punctures (i.e. vent stack) you should be OK. I sure would keep an eye on it though.

Post a photo. If it's soft, it's a problem.
Typically keystone's roofs are OSB, which doesn't handle water well. A typical repair would be to remove the existing roof covering, replace the OSB and any damage, replace the roof covering. This is expensive.

Less expensive is patching the roof.

Last, there are new roof products like this:

They generally cost 1/3-1/2 as much as a new roof.
