Been fixing leaks for over 20 years and notice the problem is the flashing is too close to the upturn which give the upturn less tolerance. Flashing should be wider extra 200mm to allow rain water to fall further away from the upturn and lessen the overflow and to increase tolerance. Don't forget that rain water also splash as it hit the corroagation and narrow flashing allow the splashing to happen right where the opening at the upturn. Increase the tolerance by using wider flashing reduce any chance of capillary action too

Sorry mate, to where is the harness connected on the roof?

Can you recommend anyone in Melbourne ?

good tips

G'day G'day, my names daneil and i just moved into a new house, well new to us as it was built in the 6ps or 70s and within a month of moving in we started to get water stains on our ceiling so i went up and had a look see and there was the 3 or 4 minor cracks in the bottom of severl tiles which was mentioned in the inspection report but what was mentioned was in the report was that all of the ridge lines both horizontal and diagonally were either crack or chipped and in multiple places missing and being on the pension and having spent our last cent on buying it i had to redon all of the ridge line cementing myself reoving ot all cleaning and then cementing it back in and am quater way thru flexible pointing so i can guarantee for certain that there are no weep tiles at all as none of the roofing videos mentioned them and i only watched the ones made by professional roofers showing how to do it. All water leaks have stopped and as soon as i get the money together I'll be buying more flexible pointing stuff to finish it off so my question is should i drill the weeps now or wait until i finish repointing then drill the weel holes and what size drill bit should i use, 4mm 5mm 8mm?

Do you need weep holes in the hips? The ridge caps that run down the roof?

I agree with using the front clip... CONTROL and ease of use and seeing what 9shappening is everything, and you don't get the lanyard snaked around your leg (NZ lig)

The ladder should stick up three feet higher than the mounting point, and Not (I would think) be at a Ninety degree angle.

That's so informative clearing many of my guessing. Thank you!

Are you able to post a video showing how you set up the rope?

Don't try this, you will die.

You didn't maintain 3 points of contact within the first 10 seconds of the video! I'm reporting this to KZbin authorities!

I've never hear of "weep holes" in the ridge caps. Is this a comon design, globally? P.S. I'm a homeowner in S. Africa, and have been experiencing weeping during heavy rain. I've lived in the house since 1976, the roof has been professionally painted every +- 10 years and thought that this fairly recent issue was due to high winds pushing the rain up,under the concrete tiles.

Double sided sticky tape works best

Thanks

How about: "Don't design the house with a box gutter!"? Much less trouble and lower risk.

Australia seems to be one of only a few countries that require a sump, whereas in most countries they just connect the downspout directly. What exactly is the function and advantage of having a sump? What can happen, if there is no sump?

Site Inspections!!

The ONLY reason I clicked on this video is because I though it was John Dunsworth (Mr. Lahey) on the ladder lol

👍

Can't fault these guys. Geoff, Jack and the team were great. Amazing customer service and helped us out.

That intro was magnificent.

Thank you for the tutorial nice work 🤝

I put a bead of silicon along the underside which works better because water won’t flow up hill, but will still cling at the edges when turned down

Hello friend, we are absolutely honored to follow your work, we are immensely happy and grateful to share your amazing work with us, we admire every work shared by you, congratulations for the excellent work we wish you success friend, another subscriber here

Thanks!!

Thanks for saving my roof. Had a roof that leaks since we bought the house. tried everything and this works. God knows who put those sheets up at the first place didnt turn them down.

Thanks, but only a few seconds showing the harness 'anchor' pomit. What to anchor to with a cement tile roof? Thanks.

What's the name of the device you slide on the rope?

probably use both those loops with your carabiner on the front of the harness

whats the bending tool called please

It may be better to use ladder standoffs that rest the ladder onto the roof instead of onto a possibly thin gutter. They also stabilize the ladder due to additional width and should keep the ladder from sliding downwards.

THERE BEEN NO MOSS TREATMENT ON THIS ROOF . SO THERE NO TREATMENT YOUR GUARANTEE ON PAINT IS NOT COVERED ON YOUR ROOF IF PAINT COME OFF PAINT PLACES SAY BYE TO THERE GUARANTEE AND IF ITS NOT CLEAN RIGHT . LIKE MY ROOF THE GUY WAS GOING TO SPRAY OVER MOSS AND I CALL THE PAINT PEOPLE AND THEY TELL ME YOUR NOT GUARANTEE BY US ITS GOOD BYE . SO LOOK OUT FOR THIS BY THEM . AND PAINTING OVER CRACK TILES TO . YOUR GUARANTEE ON PAINT IS NOT COVERED ON YOUR ROOF IF PAINT COME OFF WHIRL A WAY PATH CLEANER TURNING THEM DOWN TO 1300PSI AND NOT THE RIGHT WAY AT 2000PSI TO CLEAN IT RIGHT NOT FOR ROOF AND IT DON'T CLEAN THEM RIGHT LIKE ME ROOF . AND THERE SKIMPING PAINT ON YOUR ROOF SO LOOK OUT FOR THIS IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE YOUR ROOF RESPRAYED GUYS THERE A LOT GOING ON NOW .

Thanks for this tip :) This is very easy and can rescue you life :)

It’s good enough.

Watching this at 3am because I just woke up to a soaked blanket 😩😩😩😩

Mr.Lahey

Hi Jack. I saw the screws of the roof in the video. Since it is a Kliplock roof, should not it be clips which are used to lock the roof instead of screws? Appreciate your help with this

thanks, mine is the opposite, it leaks only when is rains very lightly, or if its foggy

Thank you very much, Sir.

I really & truly thought this video would be about tying a ladder, using a dynamic rope, to a roof anchor. As others have stated, I wouldn’t trust the gutter system to hold the ladder in place.

What if the tile surface has a porous feel to it? Would painting be a much more feasible option after, of course, the tiles have been pressure washed?

can you recommend any in melbourne

Use a G clamp to clamp the gutter, tie ladder and clamp together! Not other clamps, G clamp more reliable.

my roof only leaks when it rains lightly, not heavy :) as it's a very low pitch and the sheets haven't been trimmed on each overlap, it's likely creeping back under the sheets

Scratching gutters no thanks

thank you for a simple video explaining a simple but important concept. Jack the man the australian standard for the bend is 20mm of bend at 45 degrees

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. I need to paint the pop up (lack of a better term) sections of the house above the steep tin roof and this looks to be the best way to do it

Use a ladder stabilizer. The rubber tipped ends lay on the roof about 4 feet apart and not the slippery gutter. Also add a 2x4 behind the feet and secure with 2 screwdrivers, 5 in 1’s, in between the boards. Or a sand bag. Stabilizer can EASILY and quickly be placed on rungs so 3-4 feet of ladder extend beyond gutter.
