!! Volume Warning !!
This is one of my first videos using Davinci and the Music is louder than it should be.
Thank you for the comments letting me know of the problem.
Hi! Thank you for watching!
In this video I show you how to install a one way breather vent in an existing roof. I always ask the contractor to locate where they would like the vent to eliminate the guess work. Once located I make sure there are no other vents in close proximity.
While going through the steps I try to point out tips and what to watch out for.
Measuring twice is always recommended. If not you run the risk of having to repair shingles that were cut wrong.
Enjoy the video!
Chris

How many folks got scared to death by the music after they cranked the volume to hear the nice calm man's voice? LOL

@kwroofingsolutions4124 25 дней назад

All and all great install one thing coming from a pro repair man such as my self is seal the color to the vent with caulking so the moisture doesn’t leak out eventually all that moisture will rot out your roof deck. I repair a ton of these vents because people just sit there vents on top of flange.

@schoenroofing 12 дней назад

Agree. Duraflow has now changed their flanges to a single pice system so we are happy about that!

This is just what I needed. Some guys did our insulation and didn't hook the hose up to the vent in our bathroom and it caused the roof to leak AND rot. I'm not versed in anything roofing, so I had a guy that was doing some work on a house across the street replace the rotted wood.....well, it still leaks. So I TRIED to fix it, wish I would've watched this FIRST!! NOW I know how to fix it....PHEW!!! What an ordeal.....dang!!!

@@AnX8765 Well Bill, IF I knew the answer to that, I'd probably be a contractor, but I'm not. The guys that did our insulation seemingly didn't know what they were doing and because it was a "rare" hot day in Washington state, I think they just wanted to finish the job and leave! Weeks later a guy at our church said-"Wait, you paid how much? Dude you could've rented a blower from HD and done it yourself for HALF that!" It's in the past, it's fixed, and there are NO leaks.

@cbirchtube 7 месяцев назад

One quick question if I may. Why do the two screws along the bottom of the flange not ever leak any water? I've never done this, but I kind of would have expected to see you dab some sealant under the screw. Are those special screws with rubber washers or something?

@schoenroofing 7 месяцев назад

Yes. The screws have a neoprene gasket so it makes an excellent seal to whatever you screw it to. They are often called wood grips or siding screws/steel roofing screws.

One small uninvited, but well intentioned, suggestion - check your audio meter when you edit and notice how it registers on average for the voice section and then match that level with the music section. Right now the music is significantly louder/hotter than the voice track. Reducing the music volume some would make that section more friendly. Blessings!

@stanleyzofastonovich1626 6 месяцев назад

I am about to attempt this at my house and this video is great! Question: why didn't you seal the "base" to the roof deck?

@schoenroofing 6 месяцев назад

This vent normally comes as one piece but I wanted to show this option because some areas have different availability. You can seal the base but if water is getting that far into the roof system you have a much bigger problem.

@knarledknuckles 8 месяцев назад

Not so easy to identify the rafters with your technique. Do you have any other suggestions before entering the deck with a skillsaw?

@schoenroofing 8 месяцев назад

The only other way is to go inside the attic and put a screw through. The hammer method is pretty reliable as the hammer will make a different sound.

@islandstudio3190 2 года назад

Can you recommend something to stop draft through the dryer vent?

@schoenroofing 2 года назад

A dryer vent should have louvers on the outside so air cannot enter inside. I would not recommend putting anything in the vent as it needs to be open to vent the hot dryer air. If its a real concern I would call a trusted HVAC company and have them take a look at it. Hope this helps!

@akbychoice 2 года назад

I’m surprised there is no sealant between the two pieces of plastic. Seems any moisture that gets between them would cause issues.

@schoenroofing 2 года назад

you are correct. We have switched to a solid vent for these exhaust installs because I had the same thought. because the "base" sits inside the top piece there is not a good way to seal it.

@Shryquill 2 года назад

@@schoenroofing Would you be able to recommend a one-piece vent?

Cheers for the video too, really well done!

@Shryquill 2 года назад

@@schoenroofing Thanks for the tip, those look much closer to what I'd want! Essentially my client has two kitchen ranges, each being exhausted using 150mm ducting fed through a skirt roof to seperate soffit vents. Due to cooking smells, they need the soffit vent disconnected, and the range to be routed to roof vents instead. The only real issue is that I've no access to the roof cavity outside of the ~150mm hole that will be cutting for the vent. So long as the vent can support itself externally things should go fairly smoothly, and Ventilation Maximum's VMAX-CT-6 looks like it would do the job perfectly, even if a little bulky for our snow-free weather haha. Anyway, that's my story, thank you again!

@fubar5554 3 месяца назад

Quick question from a newb.Why did you cut the shingles down all the way to the roof when you could have just used a hole saw right off the bat, lifted the nails on the top layer and slid the vent under? I feel like thered be better water run off and less chance of a leak, but Im no expert. Just trying to figure out all the pros and cons.

@schoenroofing 3 месяца назад

You can certainly use a hole saw for this, but you will need to make a bigger hole to account fore the slope of the roof. The steeper the roof the bigger the hole. You would still need to trim the overlap shingles that go overtop of the vent. Lots of ways to do things in construction.

I wonder why the collar is 4" or 5" when most ventilation fans are 4" and 6"? I would worry that anything plastic on the roof will dry rot or become brittle from the sun. Why not a metal collar?

@schoenroofing Год назад

Thanks for the comment. There are metal options for sure. This is a standard 1 way breather. The main thing is for hvac to get a good connection for proper air flow. We have come across rot issues and it was always a poor connection from the underside of the roof.

@ricardoxmartinez 2 года назад

If you are not comfortable doing it yourself I would hire a professional. If you install it wrong and have a leak you are now looking at drywall repair and having to fix the flange anyway.
