Flex Seal, Leak Seal and other Tar sprays.

Nothing cooks my goose more than the number of tar spray sealants that claim to seal everything from leaking boats, foundations, roofs and eavestroughs. There are a variety of products: Flex Seal (with their glitzy infomercials), Leak Seal, Flex Coat, Black Knight, and others.

I can't tell you how many times I do quotes where people tell me they tried one of these products and it failed immediately. The products sell for between $10 to $20 per can. I have never seen it work. I even tried it years ago to see if it would work. Believe me when I say, it doesn't work....at least not on eavestroughs.


Here is a video I shot recently:




To be honest, I'm not sure if this product works on boats, roofs, foundations, cracked planters, and other items. However, I do know it doesn't work on eavestroughs!  If your eavestroughs leak, don't buy these products, don't use these products, don't even think about using these products. If your eavestroughs leak, they likely need replaced.
