The Reason the Homeowner Called Mr. Roof Repair:
This mansford (French) style home was showing signs of water running down the outside.
The Problems We Found:
The flat, torch down roof (a roofing product that is designed for flat or low angle roofs. The side of the material that will be in contact with the sheathing underneath is melted with a torch to seal the material down to create a waterproof seal) was showing no visible damage or open seams between the two membranes.  Upon assessment, it was determined that the water was …

There is an attic vent installed where there should have been a 6 inch exhaust vent installed – the incorrect vent was installed and was leaking. Also there was a tear in a shingle behind the vent.
Removed leaking attic vent and installed a 6 inch exhaust vent for the bathroom. Removed the broken shingle and installed a new one. Installed vent with chem caulking due to type of vent.
Also re nailed a 3 inch pipe flashing and resealed this as well. It was lifting due to wind.

There was an exhaust vent that was installed broken. It appears as if the vent had been sitting and the plastic had deteriorated and turned brittle and when nails were put in it the flashing cracked and allowing in water. Removed this vent and installed a new 4 inch black exhaust vent. Sealed the flashing on a 3 inch exhaust pipe flashing that was allowing in water. Also, beside these two spots was a chimney that was allowing in a bit of water – sealed the flashing and where the …

We removed all shingles around the chimney and up to valley.
Installed ice and water shield (water proof membrane)

Squirrels were getting into a 3 inch pipe flashing  causing animal damage – it was a thin rubber like flashing.

Repair Summary:
The leak is from a roof vent. We removed the vent and one layer of shingles (roof has two layers of shingles). The vent was not installed with any sealant and with no underlayment. Damaged vent was replaced with a new vent and installed with roof cement and nails. Below this there was a leaking 3 inch exhaust pipe flashing – removed and replaced this. Above the leaking vent there are two attic vents – these are also leaking due to no sealant and no underlayment. These were temporarily …

It was necessary to redo both VALLEYs AND PIPE FLASHING
Redo the pipe flashing using roof cement and nails.
We will apply a new layer of shingles on top of  the existing layer of shingles in an effort to help extend and preserve the life of the roof system in the designated area. This will appear as a brand new roof and your current layer of shingles will act as an underlayment protection. This additional layer can last up to 5 to 10 years. It is the most economical roofing solution instead …

We removed a 4” pipe flashing and replaced it with new pipe flashing using roof cement and nails. We also had to remove a 1” pipe flashing and installed new flashing and sealed it using roof cement and nails.
We then installed counter metal going around chimney and capped it off and closed it off with metal and seal it to ensure it was watertight.

There was damaged chimney flashing, deteriorated counter flashing sealant and damaged shingles surrounding the chimney.
We opened up the corner of the chimney, installed new flashing, cleaned up old caulking on counter flashing, resealed the flashing and sealed all the shingles around the chimney. We also sealed all the gaps, cracks and mortar joints to ensure water tightness and eliminate any more roof leaks.
