I suppose for someone that is looking for basic info to find and stop a leak there’s some good info , but there is no replacement for properly installed metal flashing, sealers and coatings are temporary at best and will fail eventually, as well cosmetically it looks horrible

Thank you SO much for this information - I am a 60 year old woman with no building experience and you’ve totally rocked my world! On the east coast of Australia at the moment it is almost impossible to get tradesmen to do any kind of work let alone repairs to a flat concrete roof like mine. After seeing your video I went to the hardware store, bought the only bituminous product and fleece I could find (the one you use isn’t available in this country) and have spent a chunk of this week two storeys up on my roof grinding back and sealing everything I could find that looked like it could leak. It’s supposed to start raining again tomorrow so let’s see how it goes… (BTW if you want to test how waterproof it is - try making the rookie mistake of not wearing gloves and see how hard it is to get off your hands once it’s dried!!!) 🤣

unfortunately, bitumen-based products crack up after awhile. this is why he recommends using a polyurethane-based product. you will have to do more repairs after a few years because the bitumen cracks and allows water to seep into it. he always recommends against it. :(

@@thaismatsumoto So far so good! There was another area on our concrete deck that appeared to be the cause of a major leak downstairs so I sealed that as well. I have since replaced and repainted two damaged gyprock ceilings and to date there hasn't been the hint of a leak. Fingers crossed!

USE A MASK AND GLOVES!! .... Naas and everyone reading, many building products contain asbestos, don't grind and pulverise building materials without a mask. Do it for the love of your lungs!. Remember that asbestos particles cannot be seen by naked eye they are microscopic. Visit a respiratory clinic and you will never need reminding. Have watched many of your videos and it seems you don't mix your turbo sealant before applying it. Your videos clearly show lumps of components that have not been mixed properly. Your repairs are very functional Naas, you are a very pragmatic and talented person and a bit sloppy. Your sealant is very expensive, why waste so much? Also at 19:29 you can clearly see the sealant with surface cracks. Not major but they are cracks and that is 2 years after the application. Would be nice to see a 10 year old job. It seems Turbo seal definitely needs a protective UV coat on top. Keep up the good work

100% agreed. Also better to put down a sheet where you work so you don't keep spilling the product on the unnecessary area.

Wouldn't it be best to apply silver paint coat after the Turbo Poly Seal dries to prolong the life of the repair?

No ,no ,no. At any roof/wall abutment you should grind a chase in at least 1" deep and then slide in a 6" lead, bend it down and then pointed with 4:1 Sand/cement mix.

You have to take his results with a grain of salt; it is virtually impossible to adhere to entirely different materials and make still together. “Never have to do it again” is huckster talk. Two years isn’t enough time to prove anything; latex paint is still good in two years. For example; a metal tool with a wood handle, wood never stops expanding and contracting; thus the wood handle is loose or tight!
@FlatRoofDoctor2 жыл бұрын
Why do buildings have to be painted again and again so often. Paint does not last. So, remove the paint to be able to adhere to the cement or brick surface. Then paint over that. Not the other way round
@sullivanspapa15052 жыл бұрын
@@FlatRoofDoctor I wasn’t suggesting that ordinary latex paint be used instead of your advertised product; I was inferring that even paint will last two years NOT forever as you state numerous times that your product will! Bringing any substrate down to its bare surface, removing dust and debris will provide the best results; whether it be masonry, metal or wood.

There has to be alternatives to Turbo Poly Seal.... because it is not cost effective to get that stuff mailed all over the country... If you're making video's for the USA you should include products as alternatives.

Yes, in the UK a imilar product called "isoflex" is fantastic. You need to use the specific primer, spend time properly preparing and it will last for decades. Fail to prepare....then prepare to fail. Preparation is the key to success with any product.
