Problems We Found:
We removed shingles from around the home’s 2 chimneys (approximately 100 square feet).  The wood underneath the shingles was wet due to leaking.  We also discovered that the ice and water shields were not brought up to the chimneys and the plywood was not sealed around the areas where it meets the brick.

Why the Homeowner Called Mr. Roof Repair:
The homeowner called in because of a leak in the bathroom – the water was entering through one of the pot lights.   The roof had been installed in the last year and already the roofers had to come out 3 times to take a look and then reported that there was no problem.

One of the attic vents was installed incorrectly over the hole and was wedged inside the hole itself.  We investigated further but attic was tight and we could only …

The Reason the Homeowner Called Mr. Roof Repair:
Homeowner called in wanting a bathroom exhaust vent installed.
The Work That Was Completed:
We removed shingles from the area we were going to install a vent.  We then cut a hole and inserted an insulated hose attached to a flapper vent which we had shown to homeowner prior to installation.  We sealed off the vent with sealing using roof cement and then installed new shingles.
We then installed a 3 foot downspout extension so the water could flow freely into the eaves trough.

Replaced attic vent to correct exhaust vent and installed with chem caulking. Sealed all attic vents on roof with chem caulking and an exhaust pipe on back of roof.

Upon arrival we found there was no underlayment on roof surface – only on bottom row (first 3 to 4 feet). With a wave in the roof deck, water was getting in under shingle tabs and going through keys of shingles and getting in where shingles meet shingle causing major roof leaks. In one particular area this is happening and water was reaching the plywood – right at a seam between two pieces of plywood. This was allowing water in the house.
We removed the shingles in this area, cemented the …

Job: Install two exhaust vents and reinstall six attic vents
There are eight attic vents on roof – two of these are the incorrect vents and should be exhaust vents instead.
The remaining vents are all showing signs of leaking and are not properly installed.
The two incorrect vents were replaced with exhaust vents and the remaining six vents were reinstalled using roof cement and nails. This will ensure they are water tight and avoid costly interior roof damage or wood rot on roof surface.
