Roof leak at B vent pipe flashing - Bad roof install
Вставка

- Leaking roof at furnace B - vent pipe flashing. Things to look for when looking for a roof leak.. This particular roof install had a very bad nail placement issue, probably due to a careless roofer that says his stuff never leaks. I hear some roofers all too often say they are the best roofer ever and their stuff never leaks. When it comes to this type of roof leak it takes time for the nails to rust out and the leak develops years later. So yes their stuff doesn't leak right away, While the homeowner years later finds out their roof is developing issues all over the place. When installing nails it is very important not to put them near the key way of the shingles above. It's also very important whatever roofer is installing the roof to make sure they not only make it look good, but make it last.

Thank you for recording and posting this educational video.
Great job on explaining issues.
Thanks for creating this video. This rusted nail and bad placement on the flange around that vent was exactly my problem. The roof inside right underneath that nail was rotted out about 6 in in diameter. I suppose I'm going to add some wood over the rotted section inside so that I can nail into a good solid piece of wood when I fix this. I've got to find that caulk you mentioned. Thanks again for doing this!
Did not know there was so much involved. Great video - thanks for posting!
Great vids and thank you for pointing these details out.
Hope the ankle is okay. Thanks for the info!
Just what i needed. Thank you
Good Job Dude! I love your videos.

Any tips on Material wise when it comes insulation hose from fan to roof even a good vent on roof or tape is tuck tape recommend from ur knowledge thanks
Thats crazy how you can pay someone a lot of money to install your roof and they get lazy about nail placement and it screws you over in the long run. Makes you wonder if people working on houses are doing it right or not
Can you come do my roof? Lol
You seem very top notch and knowledgeable.
I'm learning a lot from watching this.
Thanks.
What about using metal roofing screws on the bottom edge of the flashing?
same happened to mine and they used staples which rotted the wood underneath

What’s your min charge for a repair like this?
What about installing Metal Tin around vents when doing roofs that are being installed with metal tin instead? Do you know how to install a roof with Tin instead of Shingles? Where are you located,Because i need my metal Tin install on my roof?
Keep your ankles in good shape folks!
One of the guys i used to work for would always use screws instead of face nailing any metal. the way he explained it was that over time the metal can pull nails out but not the screws, the screws he used were self tapping and they had grommets on them (basically metal roofing nails) of course he only used them on face nails, but have you seen people do this? He also said that with the screws you don't have to caulk them since they had the grommet! seemed like a great idea to me as long as theyre placed properly, let me know your thoughts on this. another guys on youtube (the average roofer) does this method also.
Sounds like you worked with a rare shingler.... one with a brain lol
that should work pretty well, it can dimple the thin vent metal
I had this exact same leak and caught it when storm came. So next day I went up and added new nails but I did thought about screws you mentioned. Maybe I can go redo all of my vents to prevent it from leaking
Is it bad to put that wet sealer further up the pipe? Is it a fire hazard or anything?
Great content, man who ever did the roof what a shitty job all those nails in the keyway for all kinds of possible leaks in the future dozens of spots not good... feel sorry for that home owner. Be careful up there watch urnankle a sprained ankle is no joke :)
Sure how they get repeat business lol. But could this be offensive offense to report with their license?
So, what if there are shingles underneath a flange or metal plate (so that's good), but also the shingles come down on top of the metal, equal length to the metal flange. In your video the shingles stop about a couple of inches above the end. Then there's a bunch of caulk (wish I could post a photos). Does that sound like a good thing? I do worry that the water will wick to the nail.
It's nailed in the usual corners and center, but the flange or metal plate is popping up on either side of the center nail. I'm thinking they used the same old nails, and that this is why they put shingles over top of the metal plate, all the way to the bottom.
Never nail on seam . correct ,correct.
I just roofed my shed with stainless steel nails to avoid leaks from rusting.
Ironically, Tamko is the shingles the roofer put on my house and this winter after 19 years the roof is leaking in multiple places. They used staples and most of them were left sticking up 1/4” and they missed the tar strip on every shingle. To make matters worse, the roofer is nowhere to be found.
STAPLES!!!??? Hunt that M*#%#cker down and......
did you end up replacing the roof
@@akanesoratobu8889
Yes I did. $14,000 and a 3 month wait list.
I appreciate the information, but it would be helpful to actually see you do the repair.
Why not use a sheet metal roofing screw on the flange? That's what I always do to keep those down
You can I've got nothing against using threaded screws, they actually would hold better. Doesn't matter what you use just more important to keep them in and up a little. I've had a few people in the past comment that steel roof sheet screw will seal it, but it doesn't seal water coming under the edge when the screws or nails are close to the edge.
@@GrandRoofingInc fair enough 👍 I'm sure you've thought about it and do it your way for a reason, I just like to understand the rationale behind the way others do things
Definition of “key way” ?
keep those ankles tight
why not use screws?
what would it cost to fix that small leak
Home owner will cost you box of nails, roof repair black bottle and good flat shoes will be price under $100. If you call roofer or handy man, $150-$300
You need ANKLE guards brother
Why not use screws with waterproof gaskets?
That's what I always ask
Never never nail the bottom flange. If you can’t cover the nail with the shingles, it’s going to leak.
Have you tried 'through the roof'? Have a buddy that swears by that....opinions?
Not sure what you're talking about, some sort of caulking?
Heal up that ankle

You should NEVER put exposed nails at the botton of the base . They should be hidden under the shingles. You are asking for an eventual leak.
I wouldn't be putting any screws or nails In that metal flashing to . Doesn't matter where you put them you still punched a hole through it . It's prob best just been stuck down to the shingles with sealant under it then it cant bend up
It is hard to trust even a good roofer. You almost have to be on the roof with them. My neighbor was on his roof while getting a new roof was being installed and made sure it was installed properly.
Y not stagger the water channel on the shingles there loads joint on joint . If it was stagger like you do with British slate roof so water line always down the centre there wouldn't be a issue
Nails go under the shingles guys.... I hate seeing this shotting nonsense.
Don't want to sound negative. The biggest thing I take away is go metal roofs. Shingles are out dated. Just my opinion.
