Shady
Side, Maryland Roof Repair: Most
of the metal ridge vent was loose and
coming off the peak of this home.
The home is right on the water and the
weather definitely got the best of the
ridge vent. |
We
almost never find the required end plugs
in ANY metal ridge vents, and this one was
no exception. |
Stainless
steel screws were used to fasten the
entire vent . . . |
. . .
and then sealed with Geocel Tripolymer
Sealant. |
Nail
"pops" are often a source of roof leaks;
this was a big framing nail that backed
out of a roof rafter. It happens,
folks. We installed a new nail and
sealed a new shingle back down with
Geocel. |
|
|
The
Geocel seals the rubber end plug and keeps
it in place, too. |
|
Here a
new shingle tab covered another nail
pop. |
Ridge
Vent reattachment: Done! |
Finally,
all loose shingle tabs were sealed down
with Geocel to help prevent future
"blowoffs". |
