Skylight problems

Water stains by skylight,homeowner couldn't explain why this was taking place.on her newly painted ceiling.Resealed entire metal frame where it meets the glass with high quality urethane based clear caulk,this could have been prevented by routine yearly roof inspection.

food pantry water leak

Nasty water stain inside kitchen pantry

Caused by the most unusual hidden openings

Unfortunately by the area where most water will be present.

Solved with some clear caulk,preventive roof maintenance its the name of the game.

Clogged up gutters

Galvanized commercial gutter replacement

Very old gutter in need of replacement.

It had been patched many times,galvanized was rusted right thru

Once the gutter was removed,the condition behind it was now visible,old siding had to be renailed.

and new surface to be prepared to torch down the new modified before the new gutter its placed.

Replacement was primed for better results.

A way better surface for the new gutter.

Making sure every detail its water tight.

New gutter finally in place,tying in the old roof and the new material.

Bigger problems.



I thinks its been there a while sir.

deep fried shingle anyone?

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news."

Homeowner happens to be afraid of heights,nothing wrong with that.
on the other hand he couldnt see its condition.

rain gutters might need a bit of cleaning

We have bigger problems besides the drywall damage.

Sorry,you need a new roof or at least a blue tarp over the fried roof.
As of yesterday.

Water dripping down the sliding door

Water down the electrical conduit and on top of furnace!

Homeowner noticed water on the floor,realized it was coming down from the electrical conduit.

Why?
wind driven rain,snow,could get in.

Checked all the possible entry points,the top of this pitch pan needs to be resealed also

Top of heat exhaust copuld defionitely use a touch of sealant around base.

Notice the proximity of the drain,so many ways for the water to get in in such a small area.

Sealant will do the trick,for now.

Water down the electrical conduit? i wonder why?

Top of pitch pan after also being sealed

Collar around base of heat exhaustwas also sealed
