For those who are on strict budget or live check to check this is a great (temp) fix. Most roofers would still try to sell u an entire roof. Great honest video/tip 👏🏼
Imo its a permanent fix untill that roof needs to be replaced...that roof is old
A roofing co. was putting on a neighbor's new roof, so I asked the man to come look at mine & give me an estimate. He found that the shingles were fine, but like yours, the nails in various places needed caulking. He was kind enough to do that for me at no charge, as an elderly woman of 80. At any rate, I still have one more leak in my bathroom..... This one seems to be more than the other quarter sized spots had been, so I don't know if it's the nails, or in this case, a vent around the area where the leak is. I'm too old to get up there myself, so I guess I will have to hire someone, but at least now after watching your video, I will be protected from any scams. Thanks! I can't help but wonder tho' if you always do roofing repairs in high winds like that? It looked like you had a terrible storm coming! Of most importance is to be safe!
Well that's funny I mean he may not be the owner but I'm the love of my life and the father of my kids he was a roofer for a while and he literally fell through on a windy day and literally drove himself to the hospital in a 5-speed with the broken leg
Do you know that my mother is the one that told me about the valley but of course my father built homes for a living
Thanks for the video. I’ve searched as best as I can from the rooftop. My roof is leaking from a spot which is inaccessible to inspect from inside the attic and interior of the patio roof that has a stucco ceiling. Now I’m wondering if camera on a long snake like apparatus could be fed into the void from a ceiling light fixture to help locate the leak. Thanks for posting your method and fix. Good for you helping out so many of us.
Thank you, that's given me a starting point on how to figure out where the leak's originating.
Thank you. Honestly, I was more worried about you falling off the roof. My roof seems to have a leak periodically, so annoying because it's only 3 yrs. old.
Thanks, very helpful. Roof of my house leaking constantly, no matter whom we hired for repair, didn't help us. From last year we started to fix our roof ourselves and it is much better now, but still from time to time we have leaks in different places on our roof.
Time for a new roof
@@floofsale yep, in good times, total roof replacement in the US costs a fortune and there is no guarantee it will be properly done due to not professional work roofers do. We already paid so much money and problem was not fixed at all. If you live in the USA you could relay only on yourself to fix anything due to bazarly awful quality of workers and insanely high prices for bad work. This is this video is so helpful.
Please I'll do your research on companies I don't care if you see I mean you need to really really see if like a robot I mean you know AI is leaving some of these comments I really think you need to you know look you know ask around your town you don't need to just be like I'm going to go with this person because you should not your roof should not be doing that!!
You understand that you understand home insurance covers a lot of this you just I mean there's certain ways to do things I mean I don't know I mean I didn't know this stuff when I was younger but I do now
Same thing happened to me is a couple of the nails and a valley is leaking I put a metal thing under my mother's anyways it's not a lot of water is not coming it's just ridiculous and it's not horrible anyways thank you for at least showing and doing things I do appreciate that I just watched the video that I don't know why this guy was just like pointing and saying yeah you need to do this get a whole new roof and it's like no you didn't even do anything so.. I appreciate you for giving us you know actual info
Why is that considered a temporary fix? Shouldn't that type of fix last several years? You covered it with metal and sealed around it. Looks good to me.
Nice touch there...tying the ladder against the wall. Wonder why I never thought about that. 🤫
If its not obvious you will need to go up in attic to find where the water is getting in...thanks for sharing
What type of sealer did you use
Outstanding! Thank you for the valuable tip
I’m having a bad leak in my ceiling and I don’t even know where to start! How do you find the leak on a roof that isn’t obvious?
Just here for the great info
You’re awesome, thank you!
Thank you. All great trouble shooting points.
good quick fix that can last several months if need be. caulking alone quicker failure rate.
Also, i find that the smooth shank air gun nails used on my roof decking by the builder migrate up throgh shingles creating leaks and some edge seems nails missed trusses or barley caught them. been fixing periodic nail pops for 15 years. now gonna fix all those with spiral shanks and new roof
Air nail guns have fostered a generation of slick, quick, and wrong contractors. My next job(s) will have WRITTEN dictates that the use of air nails/air nailers is a No Go.
Thank you very much for the information
In your experience, have you found that houses that have foundation problems and shift a lot cause more nail pops than usual?
So I guess all shingles need to be flat to the roof. I have two bent upwards and have an opening on the sides, i have been getting leaks. I was thinking of fillingm the openings eith tart. about half an inch opening
great video, thanks!
If only it were that simple in every case. Been looking at our roof for a couple days and while in the attic, can see the water where is drips in.
Go on the roof and all looks normal. No tears, popped nails, or ? Hate to just start tearing shingles off but running out of ideas.
Look for nails too close to a but grove. Where two shingles come together.
Lot better than what was there that for sure
No 3 point contact on the whole ascending ladder and no control zone or not Using fall protection harness and lanyard 🤷🏽♂️
can u do more find a roof leak vids?
Yes, I just did an interesting one and things to look for. I still need to upload it though.
@@GrandRoofingInc great thanks....i have a roof leak so this is perfect timing lol.
Two years had my roof replaced. This spring during a heavy rain it leaked. The roofer can’t find where the problem is. Light rain, no leak, heavy rain leaks. Any suggestions?
Where is the leak at?
@@GrandRoofingInc The 12x18 ft room was added on to the house 25 years ago. The roof is a 4-12 pitch. The roof ridge ties into another roof making two valleys. I can’t access the attic space to look for the leak. The water leak in the ceiling is 2 ft from the valley. There is no truss running from the valley to where the leak is for water to follow. I tried watering with a hose, no leak. Apparently there has to be a heavy down pour, more water than my hose can put out. Suggestions on what I can try next?
Currently trying to locate a leak underneath a solar array. And I’m realizing I need to find a new job. I’m an electrician. I shouldn’t be doing this. Don’t even have a slight clue on where to start.
If you see this anytime soon send a picture of what you're working with to our Facebook page. I'll look at it and see if I can't guide you into what I would look for.
Why does that roof have caulk all over it?
Worse caulk is on the horizontal bottom edge of shingle.
Oddball question: What kind of shoes do you wear? You seem to walk around the roof with confidence. They must have good grip!
Mostly just normal cheap tennis shoes. On steeper pitch roofs, it is Cougar Paws.
That whole area looks like trouble 😮
that's nice of you to do for free not cuz of the work but cuz I hate trying to clean that roofing tar off my hands what do you use to clean it?
I typically use WD40 to clean the tar off, then a good dish soap to clean the WD off my hands.
@@GrandRoofingInc that wd420 is like franks red hot it works on everything thx for the 411
Awesome video...I give out free photo shoots to help people understand the value in a cell phone shot...which if you actually blow it up for a portrait is CRAP... and an actual professional shot with a 12,000 dollar camera...always best to keep people out of the cheap....instead of into the DEEP...Keep up the great video's.
Thank you!!! :)
Are you looking for a leak in a roof?
Too close the edge when he walk to his tool 😮
Just caulk under the shingle and press so it fills the hole. Youndont need the metal
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How to fix slight bulge on our ceiling because of leak come from the roof?
Bulge is water and air pocket/bubble. Best bet is to drill a hole, let water run and dry out. Most likely I would replace drywall and let things air out for a week before patching it. Mold is no joke!
I smell mildew even catching leak early before hit the ceiling few days ago. These videos had been helping me identify tons of things previous owners fail to mention or notice.
Why would you not charge for your time? Absurd.
fine man u r... come fix mine... I will pay u🤸😄🤸
.
Don’t work for free bro, have to charge
