How to find a roof leak 7-16-24 Part 2

Thanks bud

Thanks for the videos. I inspected my roof and found many low placed nails, some very low and exposed. Pulled them on sealed them. I also just finished about a 30 sq ft repair, I used your videos as a guide. Took me 3 days to search for the leaks, repair some sketchy looking sheathing and reroof it. I learned roofers have a tough job, the heat, steep slopes, back breaking work. I think I'll hire it out next time, but I've had bad luck in the past with a place called Guardian Roofing in Auburn Washington - they used wrong size chimney flashing and left a massive hole in the roof. Took them 3 trips out to fix it properly and I had to go buy the proper size flashing.

What most people don’t know, the exposed nail as shown in the video can also cause a leak at the exterior wall, window or even settle in basement below.

Thanks for the knowledge about water wicking back UP on low pitch roofs.

I didn’t realize how a lower slope can actually lead to damage of a roof! I thought it was only for water incursion during rain. Good to know!

Geocell 4500 the best

I'm not a fan of fast roofers using air Nailers, hand nailing is best
