 Md
Roof Repair, Laytonsville /
Gaithersburg: Many shingles were
blown off and missing in this neighborhood
(Hoover Farm). |
As usual, no
end plugs were installed by the builder,
causing big leaks . . . |
Also, the
metal ridge vent nails were left unsealed,
causing leaks and loosening of the vent
sections. |
More end
plugs missing; 10 total. |
The
flashings on the flu vents always need
sealing. We use Geocel Tripolymer
Sealant. It lasts the life of the roof,
and we feel it's the best roofing sealant on
the market. |
|
|
After
we screw down all of the metal ridge
vents, we will seal the fasteners with
Geocel.
|
All of the
homes in this subdivision that had blow offs
also had nail "blow through" - a condition
caused by the pressure in the pneumatic
roofing nailer being too high, and blowing the
nail clear through the shingles. |
All of the
plastic pipe collars are leaking and must be
replaced. |
Two gas
exhaust vents need sealing on this roof. |

New
Certainteed Moire Black shingles being
installed. |
Replace all
four pipe collars. |
|
We use
aluminum / neoprene pipe collars because they
don't warp and cause water leaks like the old
plastic type. |
Geocel
Tripolymer Sealant is added to resist wind
driven rain . . . |
|
Pipe collars
develop cracks after about 7 years; then start
to leak. |
|
|
|
We take
great care in getting all of the shingle cuts
tight, and "pretty". |
Professionally
place bead of Geocel Sealant; this will last
the life of the roof. |
|
|
Rubber end
plugs finish the job off right, and are sealed
with Geocel as well. |
|
Geocel
seals exposed nails -- and screws -- and
prevents leaks for the life of the
roof.
|
|
OK, another
Md Roof Repair is a "done deal" and we're off
to another . . . |
