Md Roof Repair - Ridge Vent
|
 Potomac
Md Roof Repair Job: Metal ridge
vent was blown off in high winds. Ridge
vent blow offs occur often in
Maryland. |
Before
installing any metal vent, we first apply
a continuous line of Geocel Tripolymer
Sealant; something that I have never seen
done by any builder -- yet! |
OK, we
are ready to install the new metal
vent. |
Then we
install stainless steel screws to
eliminate any further wind problems. |
Screws
insure that the metal ridge vent never
comes off. This model is made by
Air-Vent, Inc -- a Certainteed
Company. |
Next,
the screws are covered with Geocel
Tripolymer Sealant to guard against
leaks. |
The
older sections of ridge vent were also
serviced, using screws and Geocel. |
|
End
plugs are almost never installed by the
builder, so the ends of most metal ridge
vents are by default "big leaks". We
install the proper rubber end plugs and
seal. |
Most
ridge vents are loosely held by roofing
nails and are usually loose. We fix
that with Geocel and screws. |

|
This old
pipe collar was a BIG leak. The
rubber seal usually lasts seven years,
then cracks. Pipe collars may leak
for years before the water is discovered;
by then mold has usually infested some
insulation and drywall; both of which
usually need to be replaced . . . |
This
pipe collar is in pretty bad shape. |
The new
pipe collar is in place and sealed --
ready for many more years of service.
