What is the 25% rule for roofing?

How is roofing tar used in repairs?
Roofing tar, an asphalt-based sealant, is used to seal minor cracks, seams, and around roof penetrations to prevent water ingress. It provides a protective barrier for small issues. This is a practical method for addressing small leaks and reinforcing vulnerable points.
