  for 20 foot high roof, does the latter have to be 5 feet out or can it be 3.5 feet out because of the space?

  @RoofRepairsSydney4 сағат бұрын

  The 4/1 ratio is meant to be a guide on ladder safety. A shallower angle (more that 5 feet horizontal) will start increasing the chances of the feet of the ladder slipping on the ground and sliding out. It will also put more strain on the ladder and the top support. A steeper angle (3.5 feet) will mean that there is less likelihood of the feet of the ladder sliding out - therefore safer. But it means that as you climb the ladder, you cannot lean backwards too much -as this will affect the balance of the ladder and the risk of falling (with the ladder) backwards increases. I personally prefer a ladder steeper than 1/4. Because I have had my ladder slip out from under me a few times. I lean forward as I climb and then install the top ladder tie when I get to the top. The tie then means I can lean backwards with more confidence, without the ladder pulling away from the top support as I use the ladder during the day. When you understand the basics of how a ladder functions, then you can make up your own rules.

  Been fixing leaks for over 20 years and notice the problem is the flashing is too close to the upturn which give the upturn less tolerance. Flashing should be wider extra 200mm to allow rain water to fall further away from the upturn and lessen the overflow and to increase tolerance. Don't forget that rain water also splash as it hit the corroagation and narrow flashing allow the splashing to happen right where the opening at the upturn. Increase the tolerance by using wider flashing reduce any chance of capillary action too

  G'day G'day, my names daneil and i just moved into a new house, well new to us as it was built in the 6ps or 70s and within a month of moving in we started to get water stains on our ceiling so i went up and had a look see and there was the 3 or 4 minor cracks in the bottom of severl tiles which was mentioned in the inspection report but what was mentioned was in the report was that all of the ridge lines both horizontal and diagonally were either crack or chipped and in multiple places missing and being on the pension and having spent our last cent on buying it i had to redon all of the ridge line cementing myself reoving ot all cleaning and then cementing it back in and am quater way thru flexible pointing so i can guarantee for certain that there are no weep tiles at all as none of the roofing videos mentioned them and i only watched the ones made by professional roofers showing how to do it. All water leaks have stopped and as soon as i get the money together I'll be buying more flexible pointing stuff to finish it off so my question is should i drill the weeps now or wait until i finish repointing then drill the weel holes and what size drill bit should i use, 4mm 5mm 8mm?

•

  Hi Daniel, We used a 6.5mm masonry drill bit on the video. You should upsize to 8mm if you can. We recommend drill the weep holes before you do the flexible pointing. Then, after the flexible pointing has been done, clear out the weep holes just by poking through the 8mm weep holes with a 6.5mm rod/drill bit.

  Do you need weep holes in the hips? The ridge caps that run down the roof?

• 
  @RoofRepairsSydneyАй бұрын

  Weep holes are not usually needed along the hips - because the watercourses act as weep holes.

  The ladder should stick up three feet higher than the mounting point, and Not (I would think) be at a Ninety degree angle.

  I've never hear of "weep holes" in the ridge caps. Is this a comon design, globally? P.S. I'm a homeowner in S. Africa, and have been experiencing weeping during heavy rain. I've lived in the house since 1976, the roof has been professionally painted every +- 10 years and thought that this fairly recent issue was due to high winds pushing the rain up,under the concrete tiles.

  Weep holes are one way to release trapped water. Since trapped water is universal, then weep holes should also be universal.

  Australia seems to be one of only a few countries that require a sump, whereas in most countries they just connect the downspout directly. What exactly is the function and advantage of having a sump? What can happen, if there is no sump?

• 
  @RoofRepairsSydney3 ай бұрын

  The sump allows maximum flow in the downpipe by the 'head ' of water that the sump generates. Much like pulling the plug in your kitchen sink that is full of water..

• 
  @ChristianWagner8883 ай бұрын

  @@RoofRepairsSydney thanks, that makes sense. I guess in the Philippines we make up for the somewhat decreased flow by using multiple 3 to 4 inch downpipes on each really deep (more than 20 cm) gutter. Also, internal box gutters are not as common here, making the whole system less risky. It's good to know that I might be able to increase overall flow by just adding a sump. I think architects here dislike sumps, because they mess up the clean lines of their design.

  It may be better to use ladder standoffs that rest the ladder onto the roof instead of onto a possibly thin gutter. They also stabilize the ladder due to additional width and should keep the ladder from sliding downwards.

  Australian gutters are not flimsy. The weakest ones are aluminium. Most houses would have colorbond steel, a good Aussie product. No plastic rubbish like in other countries.

  @ChristianWagner888Ай бұрын

  @@lovenottheworld5723 I stated "a possibly thin gutter" and this video is shown in all countries, including those that use very thin or weak materials. In Germany the gutters are very thick and strong, in the Philippines they are flimsy and could be just 0.3 or 0.4 mm. Good for you, if this does not apply in Australia. But how would you know, if aluminum or steel is used before climbing up the ladder? In Australia NO 1 ROOFING actually sell a uniquely designed ladder standoff, so there must be a market for such a product: "The Lacket is a new ladder safety product that prevents extension ladders from slipping sideways or falling backwards vertically." It prevents the ladder from resting on the gutter directly.

  My gutter is ancient.. so it could likely just collapse under a ladder. I have a standoff meant to be used against a wall, but it works against roof tiles. Yeah Lacket is expensive. Little helper is cheap but it just wraps around the gutter which imho can still damage it.
