I saw this video maybe 20 times. I was having anxiety attacks because it was going to cost me at least 3k on leak repairs and another 1600 to remove and reinstall solar panels. I bought the exact tools you used and materials, and for added measures, I used Henry's rubberized patch to seal the seam that go along the sides. It took me approximately 21 hours of labor. The added procedure to walk on the tiles was key in getting me up on my roof. I am a mechanic by trade since 1988, and to add this experience has made me a better man. Knowledge is power, and you are on point. We will see how well I did did in the next rain storm. Thankyou for everything.🙏

You did fantastic. My only minor critique would be my concern about how well the rubberized Henry’s adheres to the tile seams over time. Many adhesives & sealants do well when not exposed to the weather, but using a good seam sealer/adhesive that does well exposed to weather over the years, requires the opportunity to go back & recheck your repair work over long periods of time. Hopefully, the Henry’s will work well in that regard. Also, the side seams are designed not to require sealant as they manage water run off. And to seal them is to potentially block critical water flow & actually cause leaks instead of preventing them. Never want to block water flow. Always encourage water to go where you want it… which is down & off your roof. Good luck my Friend & thanks for watching.

Dan, your video, narration, and thorough explanations gave me the confidence to tackle a concrete tile roof repair between winter storms. I was able to find and repair a number of leaks on my son's 20-year-old roof that were causing rain to flow down the inside wall of a bedroom in his house in Orange County, CA. The cause was broken tiles and deteriorated roof felt. The solution was to remove 100 sq. ft. of roof tiles, replace the paper following your instructions, and replace the tiles. Thankfully, I did not have to replace the OSB or ship lap board. As I replaced the last row of tiles the rains resumed, and I had that feeling of satisfaction every roofer must feel. Thank you again for your video full of fact-filled encouragement. P.S. No tiles were broken until I stepped off the roof onto the ladder. At that point, I was out of spare tiles, so I tucked a sheet of metal over it and called it a job mostly well done. Roofers may aspire to perfection but learn to accept utility.

Today’s roofing industry is pathetic & the customers almost always end up with the short end of the stick. The only rare exception is when the customer is out to get something for nothing & I admit, that happens sometimes also. Part of the bigger problem is the selfish culture we live in today, but for those who learn to care as they navigate our selfish culture, the rewards for caring about others are well worth the sacrifices made.

Thank you. i have to get a repair to my old tiled room here in SW France. The tiles are a different design & I won't be doing the work, but it is reassuring to see how it should be done. I had no idea, that adhesives are used. I will be trying to mend some of the tiles though, as they are hard to find.

Duster Dan, thanks for this very helpful video. We had a large hole / rotted plywood near a valley above our front covered porch, under square concrete tile. We are in Colorado, I believe the problem root cause was ice dam effect due to high pitch roof line on West side of valley, North facing. Unfortunately the job was much more difficult due to the adjoining roof peak was built on top of the rotted plywood so we had to do the best we could with the situation. 24 inch spans, had to do blocking on side rafter located under peak, and 2 cross pieces. The valley flashing appears to be sufficient, just needed to replace plywood and felt, and will now need to add a roof rake to the tool shed to keep the area clear of glaciers. I can tell from your video that you take pride in doing quality work. Good for you. That is uncommon these days and if you were located in Colorado I wouldn't hesitate to hire you in a heartbeat.

@MrThedocholiday

Жыл бұрын

In once sense, I like the larger leaks cause they’re easier to diagnose. After all, how can you fix a leak that you can’t find? If I may offer you a key piece of the diagnostic puzzle… Look for the source in the leak area that would inhabit the largest volume of water in a downpour. Volume of water during the rain is key to finding any leak. Imagine how much water would be flowing across the surfaces within the leak area & focus your attention on the areas that would tend towards more volume of water under the circumstances. Prioritizes each possible leak source according to its potential volume of water under rainfall conditions or according to an obvious direct penetration of there is one-like around a flashing or obstacle for instance. Most roofers install things too loose or too tight around obstacles & don’t understand that inertia drives runoff sideways across or under roofing materials during a rainfall occurrence. So they typically install materials too tight-thinking tight is better than allowing a little room for water flow management. I’ve been extremely successful at leak repairs by thinking more like water than like a superficial minded observer of of how the dry roofing appears to the eye. When installing materials or diagnosing leaks, a true craftsman sees not only the roofing, but also the water flowing across the roofing surfaces in a downpour. That’s how you master your craft.

Great video! I would spray the mold once it's open though to prevent regrowth.

Excellent instructional and informative video. I have a twenty eight year old clay tile roof that I suppose I should replace, but do not want to do so until hurricane season is over. Orders for tiles take anywhere from two to six months here in So. FL, so I’m getting a repair done. I sure wish I had you to even consult about what company to go with. Of course, I wish I could find someone like you I could hire who is so knowledgeable, thorough and conscientious! Thanks again for this video.

+Corky C Since this roof wasn't on wooden battens for nailers, you are nailing right through the substrate and into the decking. Does that increase the probability for a leak? The reason I ask is my roof was put in with mortar patties on the substrate and most have failed and lost their grip. On a repair I would like to nail the tile back in place, but I'm concerned about causing leaks. Thanks

@MrThedocholiday

8 жыл бұрын

+Corky C No worries Corky... As long as the felt is in good condition, there's no reason to worry about the nails causing leak as they go through the tiles & through the felt. The felt is designed to remain watertight with the tiles nailed to the roof deck right through the felt. On steeper roofs they install batten wood firing strips to help hold the tiles in place, not to keep the roof more watertight. Your roof isn't real steep is it? Just make sure you drive the nails in without moving the nails around after they go through the felt. ...Assuming you have felt that is. That way, as the nails go through the felt, the felt remains tight around the shanks of the nails & consequently, watertight as well.

Thank you very much sir! I have just completed the work on my roof following your instructions. After a recent storm in So. Cal, I had a bad leak in my house. I found out that one of the tiles slid down leaving about 4 inch gap. I removed 30 tiles (5 each of the first 6 courses), replaced the tar paper using metal cap nails. BTW, the tile that slid had a blind hole and therefore it had not been nailed originally…I simply used a 3/16” masonry drill bit to make it a through hole:)

Very good using a masonry bit to open that blind hole. I carry one of those with me anytime I’m working with tile. Imagine having to drill all the tiles that way.

Just prepare yourself for them taking shortcuts, don't take it personal & hold them accountable without getting offended & you should be able to get them to rise to the occasion & do good work. Every contractor appreciates a good reputation but if you ruin them because of partial lack of integrity they have nothing left to lose & will likely write your job off. Everyone could use a second chance to do things right. And if they have no integrity at all you should not hire them in the first place. The best way I can see to hold them accountable is to require a supervisor on the job so their roofers do good work or they get fired. A supervisor can't afford to lose his job because of roofers who cut corners. He's the one who you tell how you want things done & give him wiggle room to do it his way so he can do his job. He's the expert. Good luck...

Good video Dan. I have to say, and rightfully so, roofers get a bad rap. I did some commercial roofing as a teen and my bro in law did residential. Most of his friends were heavy alcoholics and drug abusers. Nice to see someone takes pride in there craft, it's not fun but we need honest people in the industry. I live in SW Fla and just got my ass handed to me with Ian, going to meet my insurance adjuster in a lil bit. My neighbor (we live in a condo) has been told twice already we need whole new roof on a 12yr old condo.

I'm glad I came back for a second read. My tile roof was put on in the 90s and it's about 20ish year old, and leaking in several places now. I've repaired the broken tiles but I still have leaks so I need to figure out where to start looking for a place to start taking tiles off. On this house so far I have not found a single nail holding down a tile either on the ridge or on the slope. There is no mortar on the ridge, and I don't know if I'm supposed to put mortar up there. I do know I need to replace the underlayment on the ridge. How do you do that? I intend to follow your suggestions and will start as soon as the weather here cools off a bit. I'm in the central valley of Calif and it's over 100 every day.

Wow, what a great tip how to walk on the tile. My house is tile roof I’m always afraid to walk on it. Thanks

THanks Max. Real, professional wisdom!

Great video and job. Thanks for your time and tips

Great work. I did a similar repair 2 months ago and it has remained dry since. One thing I did notice, at 24.41 as you're walking across the roof, I spotted another dislodged tile in the middle span of the roof!

Yeah, so occasionally if a tile won’t go back in alignment with the others but the fastening nail or nail hole is covered by the course above & the moved tile hasn’t caused a leak beneath it, I’ll glue it in place right where it is. Might not be aesthetically pleasing but it does keep that tile from causing a leak down the road.

Very good tutorial video . Thanks for sharing.

Excellent walk-through. Very helpful. Thank you
