Roof leaking behind gutter into the Soffit 

Awesome video to explain things. This is my house and much appreciated a video was made to show the details. Thank you.

This is a great video. I had a leak that I couldn't find. Your video helped me find it. One corner of my roof had that dip. I used Henry's to cover the portion of the few shingles that had the dip. No more leaks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Bro great video with straight to the point and experienced knowledge. Best inspection video I’ve seen keep it up!

Yes as a former gutter installer for 28 years. We used 8'' spikes and ferrules on our Seamless aluminum .028 Gutters. I can see that the Gutter is to high more then likely it's those hangers that folded the drip edge back as well...

In North Carolina we give it a 1 inch overhang past the drip edge

This is the problem I have thanks for your video, helpful

Great Video Thanks

I have installed roofing for decades from 3 tab to now architect and always have the shingles 1/2” over the drip edge on eaves and the rakes to create an adhesion break to shed water. If gutters are installed properly water will fall into the gutter from the adhesion break from the shingle to the drip edge , same principle going up the rake that avoids intrusion from driving rain. Starters are critical for the system to work properly as well as looking at roof area( volume ) to use either a residential or commercial gutter to direct water away from the foundation ! Newer houses in my area have huge roof areas and a lot of them have residential gutters that cannot handle the volume of water.

I have done videos on this as well. Very well explained

Same situation at my house, thanks

My old garage has this exact problem. The garage sits towards the back of the property, so the problem went unnoticed. It's flat, slightly sloping roof,(block garage) and the drip edge they installed has an upward lip, and whoever installed it made only 2 cutouts(20ft run) for water to drain into the gutter. That made the problem much worse. Water was pooling up, dripping down the middle of the blocks and seeping into the garage at floor level. I now have to replace the last roof board, drip edge, and probably the gutter.

Great video! My problem exactly. Too bad these roofers don't take pride in there work and not leave a ski jump on the edge of the roof.

I had the same issue with a newly purchased house, but it was the leaf guard causing the problem, not installed correctly. The roof also has many flaws. It’s hard finding good quality tradesmen.

The gutter alone without screen would be fine. The problem is the screen was an after thought and the gutter wasn't lowered when screen was eventually installed. This is a common occurrence for screen installs since the gutter crews homeowners or contractors just want to slap it in quick and go but in order to do the job correctly need to go to the highest spot along the gutter run install a piece of screen as a temp to see if it needs to be lowered or not

In Ohio you have to install Iceguard first because the snow will sit there all winter, also the drip and gutter must be installed correctly

Well that was a very good video. I am dealing with the exact same problem as those curled shingles and water leaking in behind the fascia and drip edge. I was thinking they used a small 4" starter shingle instead of using a full shingle at the bottom. But, like you said their is no cheap easy way to fix this. Thanks

In our area they call that apron that was used along the bottom D edging. It is notorious for causing that lifting of the bottom shingles to happen. Thankfully it is rarely used in that manner in our area. Yes the fascia is a bit tall.

Horrible roofing job. good explanations

Good stuff, I have a telescoping ladder like the one you recommend but its not branded. I love it, the one button retract is a game changer for sure. I bought mine pre covid on sale for $89, should have bought two lol. I'm a home inspector and am digging your videos. I've been inspecting roofs for over 20 years and I'm still learning stuff from you. A lot actually, I know, scary, right? lol.

Gutters are installed wrong. No over hang on shingles. Simple.

It amazes me when the roofers hardly nail off the eave drip. It should have alternating nails, front and back between each nail, every 3 or 4 inches, nail the piss out it!Many roofers seem not to understand the expansion of metal in different climates, with causes the up turning or curling of the eave drip over time without a good amount of alternating nail pattern. Also, I always spread roof cement also on my eave drip prior to applying starter strips, and lay the starter strips into the cement, (we live in Florida so ice an shield is optional) and I NEVER use 3 tabs for starter strips.

Did you land that job?

I'm a gutter guy and I see this all the time the shingle isent over hung the drip edge aswell and the nails in the drip have pulled out from bad wood ot they were nailed to high. We sub alot of gutters for roofing Companys and we will see this every now and again. When it's poorly secured there's not much you can do as a gutter guy. I can't tell you how many drip edges I have stepped on to try and flatten them out. But I'm not a roofer lol. And we don't push up on the drip we put our hidden hangers inside of the gutter instead of snapping on the back so that your not pushing the drip up when you lift up and when you go back to screw them all in you can just go back and notch the drip where its needed

The facia board is likely to high IMHO

The gutters were installed after the roof was done or there wouldn't be no metal nosing because the gutter would have a lip on it.. Installing gutters after the roof they lifted the nosing trying to keep the gutters straight.

shingles cut too short it is a good practice to make overhang at least 1 inch otherwise h2o will creep up

Plenty of nails in the rain lines..😮

I'm a software engineer, why am I watching all your videos? lol

Get rid of the cutters completely. They are a waste.

Don’t those gutter guards end up being covered with so much vegetation that the water ends up backing up under the shingles? Even on a proper roof job, unlike this one.

The gutter board is higher than the plywood.

plus ... i think u are not the roofer because u are not aware that on that cellophane there is an inscription saying "do not peel off" there is another purpose for it but if you know u know

Gutters are way too high.

Your shingles don’t have proper overhang over the gutter apron

Why would any roofer ever install the starter row of shingles so they don't overhang the gutter, or install the gutter so far out from the roof edge of the shingles, when every roofer knows that some rainwater will wick upward a little ways along the underside of the leading edge of the shingles before it drops down into the gutter? Even without the bizarre rain-trapping dip shown here, all along the starter row of shingles, if the leading edge of the shingles doesn't overlap and hang over the rear wall of the gutter to direct rainwater into the gutter, some of the rainwater that wicks upward along the underside of the shingle edge is going to be deposited onto the front edge of the plywood panels under the shingles and eventually deteriorate them (and if the panels are OSB, they'll crumble even faster), and some of the water will go behind the rear of the gutter and get to the fascia wood, eventually destroying it too.

What if the water is coming out or leaking at the front edge of the fascia and soffit joint? I have a similar problem but the leak is coming out of the soffit vent. I opened it up and it’s wet at the bottom where the fascia and soffit meet in the front

Gutter is installed too high causing the first set of shingles to bend upwards water retention wicking water behind the flashing to the roof deck

How did FTX work out for you? Hopefully, you didn't lose much.

Those are not ceramic granules. They are limestone color dyed.

Like your videos. Seem like an honest roofer who likes to learn and do things the right way. One criticism tho. Please don’t recommend gypto to viewers.

Gutters are too high.

Too long.

ice dams cause that because those gutter gaurd get built up ice and it starts then and never ends . I learned the hard way about gutter gaurds on my shed house It wicks up and never ends after that
