The Reason the Homeowner Called Mr. Roof Repair:
A leak was discovered in the living room.

Repair Summary:
Homeowner had an exhaust pipe that was disconnected on the interior. Our roof repair contractor removed the old exhaust pipe and will dispose of this.
We replaced with wood and installed ice and water shield and new shingles in this area. We used roof cement and nails where the new shingles meet the old shingles to ensure the area is water tight.

Problem: Water was draining from downspout too close to the house.  The opening at the top of the chimney was exposed, and there was cracking in the flashing around the chimney. Bathroom and attic vents were leaking.  Flat roof was also leaking.
Solutions:  In order to deal with the water draining too close to the house, our roof specialist extended the downspout approximately 4-5 feet so water drains further from the house.  We did the same thing with another downspout at the back of the house.

Repair Summary:
There was a hole in a shingle due to animal damage from a raccoon or squirrel.
We removed the damaged shingle and sealed the area with chem caulking and replaced the shingle.

Problem: Deteriorating flat roof that was leaking
Solution: In order to complete the repair we used a tar adhesive due to roof being wet and in snow so we cannot use vapour glue. We then sealed underneath where the roof was coming off from the insulation and sealed membrane itself. It will take a while to cure.
The roofers then sealed this area with 4 inch framing nails to keep it from coming loose while curing.
Perimeter of roof is peeling off the drip edge and entire perimeter is leaking in periodic spots.
