How to repair a roof turbine.

If your ceiling has a plastic vapor barrier between the drywall and the attic insulation push the insulation aside and look for flow stains on the plastic often water runs to openings in the vapor barrier such as at ceiling light fixtures. Saturate the area on and around each point with the silicone lubricant. Some roof leaks are tough to locate. Find the primary pivot points on each blade and the center pinion.

Sometimes the water shows up at a ceiling spot distant from the leak. I used some paper towels to do a little cleanup to get some of grit and grime in and around the pivot points. Apply roofing cement to the underside of the turbine base flashing with a trowel or putty knife.
