For quick fixes, flexible waterproof repair tape works exceptionally well. This tape, made from butyl rubber, is bendable which allows it to conform to rough edges. Hoses, pipes, and even leaking roofs are a few examples of the best surfaces for this tape. Its elasticity guarantees that it will not interfere with the movement—expansion and contraction—of the structure being repaired, while still providing a tight waterproof seal. This tape offers optimal solutions for short-term needs, but can be long-term depending on the environment.
