HOW TO FIX LEAKING TILE ROOF YOURSELF - EASY DIY

[@rinzler9775]

I'm from Australia, and they do roofs really weird in America. We just use galvanised valleys.

[@HowToDoitright]

Good to know. Here roofing is a mafia business

[@OCgraftedin77]

Nope, same here in the USA; we use galvanized sheet metal in the valleys also!

[@Oscar99929]

LOL - liked the Keystone Cops like music during the fast forward. Very clever.

[@HowToDoitright]

Haha

[@Netherlands031]

Yeah so nice video, thanks for uploading, but based on watching a lot of other roof repair videos this is not the best solution. There are no zinc/lead gutters installed in the roof valleys, where multiple parts of the roof meet. (google some images of 'roof tile valley', it'll make things more clear). Do you already see the problem? The parts of the roof adjacent to the piece that was getting fixed, are just dumping their water contents under the new roof. The overlapping plastic sheets will carry the water towards the edge of the roof, so at first this won't be a problem. But give it a few years and you'll get lots of crap right on top of the plastic sheets: bird droppings, leaves, all kinds of organic matter really. These will accumulate, and create blockades for water, so you'll get pools of water under the tiles. Now if you have a pool of water right on top of two overlapping plastic sheets, this creates an opportunity for water to creep through the overlap and onto the wood underneath. If you fix this now, you won't have to replace the new wood. If you fix this in a few years when it leaks, it'll be a bit more expensive because of that. But you will have delayed the cost, maybe you don't live there anymore, who knows. So I'd say just live with it and keep a close eye. (disclaimer, again, I'm not a roofing professional, just someone who likes to do research).

[@tswvxyastswvyeej5510]

Looking like the tiles just for pretty, what prevent leaking are the papers under neath.

[@DirtyLifeLove]

Yes. And they are unnecessary extra weight, which leads to more roof repair.

[@CarlosJimenez-mw6fh]

Hi what Cain of foam he use? Thanks bro

[@Ziggy_v2]

Solid - that section of your roof is good for the next 40yrs. Thank you for posting this video.👍

[@davidcaldwell4953]

In America it looks like tiles are there for show . Because all they seem to be bothered about is roofing paper and ice shield. If the pitch of the is right and the overlap on the tiles is right you shouldn't need all that crap underneath. Half of the problem is fixing tiles directly to the paper. definitely a no no in uk and most of Europe a batten system is used which is the proper way

[@HowToDoitright]

Ya it’s a business mindset in US and roofing system is bad here.

[@pencilme1n]

Don't board the roof at all. Use a breathable felt fastened to the trusses with battens fixed on top. One batten for each row of tiles. This allows the roof space to breath. The tiles deal with the rain but any leaks or condensation will be carried away by the felt towards the guttering. You will need valley channels either way

[@fco.ricardoconchas3043]

Valley metal is indispensable, with out it it will continue to happen. But sometimes we don't tell the costumers and most time costumers don't want to pay. Consider the roof is the most important part of a house.

[@tsimps5144]

I'm blown away there is no valley metal, makes no sense.

[@inferno8428]

Awesome vid, I’m in Palm beach - what’s the guys contact - could definitely use his help after the rain we got yesterday.

[@RaviKumar-bf9tp]

Thank you very much

This isnt a simple job, its more like a big job for a professional do it...but thanks for the video

[@HowToDoitright]

agree not simple job

[@OCgraftedin77]

If he knows what he’s doing it’s as good as a professional. It’s also much cheaper. You think one person can’t do it’s professional as those you call professional?

[@joshuaw2395]

Man that is a high roof!

[@doctorhouse597]

How much did the repair cost you?

[@jlondono363]

No roof tile valley? I hope that you don’t get a leak there and when time comes to replace your roof that you get some on there. Your house will thank you long term

[@HowToDoitright]

What is a roof tile valley? If you see all the way at the end he did install roof tiles back on. Not sure what you mean by your comment.

[@onjofilms]

So when you get in your car do you pop that piano music into the cd player? If not, why the hell do we have to listen to it?

[@HowToDoitright]

I don’t have a CD player in my car. You must drive an old car. Also you don’t have to listen to the music. Don’t watch the video :)

[@newera4675]

If you're bumpin that, CDs are futuristic. I can see xzibit now, "my guy, i heard you like classic ragtime played in it's original gramophone format... Now this was tricky, and you're probably not going to want to use it while driving... But i present to you your new car.. The Gramobile! Look bruh! The stirring wheel is a turntable!"

The repair video was great, and very informative but the music is atrocious!

[@davinavalaydon2961]

8:14 nailing it 🤷

[@davinavalaydon2961]

Great video except that it wold have been far more helpful if you had referred to each element buy is actual name (ie: "paper" - technically, its not paper!? so more helpful to inform us of the actual material and the underlay part, in my view). Cement liquid, Paste or liquid rubber? Not clear. Then you did say he would be using foam and board but no cement or nails ... which he has used.. But all in all, thank you so much for taking the time to share.

[@HowToDoitright]

Sorry I didn’t even know all the names myself and he didn’t speak well English

[@Repko01]

You never left details for Tenisio, but you promised... Keep your promise!

[@HowToDoitright]

So the reason I stopped recommending him and leaving his number was because some people said he did it wrong. Not sure how true that is but I don’t want anyone to messup if this is true. Time will tell for me

[@gregankendrick]

Oh my god no valley metal !!! I bets your roof is leaking again as I type this lol

[@HowToDoitright]

No it’s been more than a year and no leaks yet. What is a valley metal? Would appreciate if you tell me about it.

[@onlypremiumlife]

That is back-breaking work.

[@caseyjohnston8843]

Why even reinstall the tiles just redo the cricket right redo the tie ins right. And peel and stick or torch it. Thanks for keeping other companies in business.

[@HowToDoitright]

No idea what you mean by why even reinstall the tiles? It’s a tile roof and tiles are supposed to go back on. No idea about the rest of the stuff you saying.

[@tswvxyastswvyeej5510]

Single roof will never leak but tile roof always has a leaking problem.

[@gregankendrick]

When tile is done right it outlast shingle.

[@Oneklickmedia]

It’s not usually the roof material that’s the issue. I see most leak come from improper flashing, neglecting care ( no gutter maintenance) or crack tiles they never fix. Shingle same way but shingles is cheaper so tons of owner fix it themselves versus tiles, it’s intimidating from what I hear from home owners

[@oscarguevara5089]

One of the worst roof repairs I’ve seen .. it’s suppose to go under a minimum of 18” he gave it 3”

[@HowToDoitright]

I see what you are saying but in reality it was almost impossible to do so for a repair. If it’s a new roof replacement then it’s much easier but getting 18” is tough on an existing roof. However he did not just go 3”. It was more.
