Good points on how to reduce the chances of leak. I can see that in the rush to get the roof done, the "shingler" may rationalize that a dab of tar to cover a bad nail placement might solve the problem for the short time. Lesson - Do Not Be Like Mike! Thanks for the vid and analysis. By the way -It appears that there were at least 2 people applying the solar power vents - one done correctly and the other not as knowledgeable.
Nail the vent onto the wood roof with synthetic underlayment peal and stick under the vent . Of course cut the underlayment hole for air exhaust . Use neoprene washer shank nails and nail through the vent flange . Put underlayment on the exposed flange ( peal and stick which will cover the the vent flange and nails ) . Cover the underlayment with shingles ( remember to remove the vent cover before nailing the vent to the wood roof so you have clearance to nail the vent to the roof and to place synthetic underlayment and put shingles on then put fan cover back ) .
Just wanted to say I appreciate the videos, I've been doing snaplock and standing seam roofing for 2 years and love learning more about all roofing to expand my overall knowledge. Keep it up
Thanks great job.I have 2 leaks in corners of where a build on connected.I have had 7 men up there without any reward..It still leaks and I have I have compounded them 11 times over time. Can you recommend a inspector in the Morristown Tenn area.I m so frustrated .Our shingles are about 6 yrs old.
Looks like a nicer house than usual. Better roof job too. Do you have an opinion on attic fans? Some people claim they aren't enough to be effective. (Much more than just standard roof venting that is.)
Side note question. What’s your opinion on mixing exhaust ventilation? Wouldn’t the power vents make the RVO’s intake when they’re on? I typically do either power vents only, box vents only or ridge vent only.
Where did you get the ladder standoff? I seen A few of your videos. Another question is. Does cougar paws grip to metal roofs ? I been thinking about investing in cougar paws. I use the pitch hoppers. And they work great!
I got the latter standoff on Amazon there's a link in the description. If I can remember the Cougar Paws grip steel But not if they or the roof were dusty.
Those edges should’ve been fully covered unfortunately if you check the bundle wrapper for instructions it says to place the vent halfway under it’s in the picture pretty sure I mean we all know better but some people take instructions too literally just like 6 nailing full tab
I don’t think that nail hole under a vent flange would cause a leak that bad. Is it just dripping straight down to the drywall? Wouldn’t it be better to go in the addict and check that spot visually. It would be very obvious if it is bad enough to stain ceiling.
It doesn’t really matter if they nail right there all that could’ve been avoided if they would of sat the vent on roof cement/caulking eliminates the problem of water “trickling” underneath it
Keep talking Brian. Most people don't think about their roof until it involves the wallet or purse. The more you know.

Thanks a lot for all your videos. I've learnt a lot. My roofer couldn't fix my roof after trying twice. Wish you guys can be around.

Super helpful and actually interesting. Thank you!
Water pooling on the top caps is a new one lol
It helps a lot when you have access to the under roof area. Im my case no on a corrugated metal roof and it is like finding rat shi_ in flour.
Just shift the flour and it'll taste fine.
Good detective work!

Helpful video, thanks ...
Very informative. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I will def check out the standoff. I got the older styles that uses the C clamps and wing nuts.
Great video, thanks man!
HOw much are you charging for basic work like this?
Its not basic , finding the problem is the job not easy as u see , doing the job is hobby , he probably charge $280 to 350 max
@@accent1975 280-350 for applying 1/2 a tube of caulking and no guarantee you found the leak.
Why don’t you redo the section of shingles around those vents?
Those edges should’ve been fully covered unfortunately if you check the bundle wrapper for instructions it says to place the vent halfway under it’s in the picture pretty sure I mean we all know better but some people take instructions too literally just like 6 nailing full tab
Thanks 👍
Looks like they capped over a peak that had ridge vent before

Some areas of houses don’t have attic access throughout the whole house

nice video! would've been better if you showed the actually fix.... what you describe isn't as intuitive to a diy-er like myself..

Why would anyone put an exposed nail on a vent or boot? The nails go UNDER THE SHINGLES!!!!!
