Roofers don't want you to know this - Roofing tips and how spot roof leaks 

I appreciate that!

I would check it out if i were you.

@@SouthCountyRoofing I did, uploaded a video inspired by your film style. I know you will get a kick out of it!

Here in southern California roofers don't use rubber gaskets because they are not required. That was a bad caulk job.

But, you are right about that happening to the rubber "boots" they are sometimes referred to as.

It was tract work which is usually garbage work in CA.

There's no debris in the tile pan or the valley. What you said can happen and does. And, if you're like all the other roofers around here. Keep installing paper over the existing paper. That guarantees me job security!

Who puts paper over existing bad paper?

A bunch of roofers like to do that. Half the repair we do half new paper installed installed right over the old paper "hoping" the leak is under it. It's a joke.

I wouldn't expect a diy'er to tackle a complicated roof repair like this. But, I did want to give homeowners some tips for when you get roofers out to your home for tile roof repair estimate.

West Coast Roofer - Roofing and Roof Repair Gotcha, and I can appreciate that.

Joel Stanley I don't think he cared enough to fix that problem

@@shandelebroyles1099 Yep and was the easiest fix. Shame he didn't care enough .

Joel Stanley he could also get rid of/eliminate the corner(s) causing the problem by connecting between that corner and the chimney..

can you explain this again please bro

Thank you!

Cracked tile should be replaced because the sealant often fails. Then the tile gets loose and leaks. We see this a lot. Please subscribe if you found this video help or if you want to see more roof repair videos.

The valley's are 24" wide. Water flows off the valley metal just same no matter the room. Your roofer should always use "ribbed" valley when installing tile or make them bend up the edge fold to keep water from going under outside the valley and back onto the roof. If your roofer does that you can use a close cut valley which in my opinion looks much better.

I appreciate the comment. There's no step flashing used the vertical side walls with tile such as shown in this video. They used channel metal comes in 10 foot long pieces. Leak was just under the the very front of the valley. Valley's done without ice and water shield or not properly woven wont last 30 years.

My pleasure!

Really, dude, good job.

@SouthCountyRoofing I should know because it's what they left with leaky roof. My next roof will be comp.

Thank you for you support.

don't even go up there unless you plan on fixing it, this companies more the problem then the cure.

You mean his workers work don't you? All I caught before stopping it was him making a video while talking shit on others in the profession. You right though. Not necessary to pull the flashing up. If it stops short you can add the extra material & overlap & seal at the joint.

@@peterzinia3767 yeah he usually always talks shit about others work lol especially about the sealant around the pipes haha that little crack is almost impossible for it to leak through there cuz the lil water that does get lands on paper either way

Thank you DQ10!

I've done this exact repair on this same model a bunch. It's called experience.

Who's the judge here? You? Think about that.

Hopefully, not very well.

I bought those from Duluth Trading about 15 years ago. They have been resoled 4 or 5 time and they are still going. If I had to guess what brand they used they third party sell I believe they are Thorogood Boots with the Moc Toe.

I'm pretty steady on my feet.

What did you expect?

ItsInTheDetails they are probably only used in areas where it doesn’t know or rain much lmao

G Roy I mean for real... slabs slipping?!!? Like that’s a normal thing to have your roof board completely exposed like that. Will stick with my asphalt shingles and just replace every 15 years or as needed lol. I cannot imagine wondering if I have an exposed section like that or not

Come to Europe, we always use concrete tiles. They dont slip out though

Yes, absolutely

@@SouthCountyRoofing That is disastrous... Not to mention concrete is porous, water can go through it. So why on earth are we using cement shingles!? And thanks for replying btw.

It depends on the amount of money you have laying around.

I shoot as much as I have time for. It's never planned I just do it as I have time. That's it.

By the number of videos you post you obviously have ample time to post others screw ups but never enough time to video your own. I lived in So Cal for 20 years scammers like you come and go

Another southern California know it all. Imagine that.

Labor warranties for a new roof is typically 5 years

What we call "lugs" are located on the underside of the tile. You can't see them until you remove the tile. I

I believe you are describing the "channel" part of the tile. If the tile comes loose and you need to seal or glue it back in place you can put the glue in the channel. But, place the glue high on the channel so that the glue does not block the flow of water off the channel and redirect it back under the tile.

It should be on the home page. I can't give that out or the other roofers will do, well, you can imagine.

No, I didn't. They probably hired another roofer to leave the tile pan in place and just install some more felt over an area. Hope and pray!

The Lord will always supply work to meet your needs.

Here roofers will charge from $80 bucks an hour per man per person all the way up to $150. The lower end gets you people who are slow and don't know what they are doing the upper end gets you someone who knows what they are doing. Most leaks can be fixing in 10-to-20-man hours plus materials.

You need professional to the job right lik me I have seen it all most of people have basic knowledge and looking to make money faster instead do fix right way I do hate this caind of firms or company or solo trader

Your paper should last about 50 years. There's certain areas on your roof where the paper will only last half as long. That's usually where you end up repairing those areas.

You got that right.

Jonathan Chapman no idea what that means but sounds like a legitimate answer.

No they do not. The manufacture of the tile still makes the tiles but, they changed the channel of the tile which means the new ones wont fit together with the old one. Nice of them, huh!

I should by now.

I appreciate your comment bryon. We do 500 plus repairs a year. We offer a "No Leak" 100% refundable warranty which no one else does in roofing. I don't take anyone's money. Customers hire me for a negotiated rate. This tile is not installed on battens "unless the roof pitch is greater than 6 and 12 (6 inches of rise for every 12 inches of slope. Your "every time" theory is wrong almost "every time". Second we don't use stainless steel screws for the tile roofs in southern california. We use "hot dipped" galvanized nails. Stainless steel is a waste of money when hiring "most" roofers. What's the point of a lifetime fastener used to install a roof that probably will leak in the first 25 years?? FYI - If you have rusting screws that means they are not stainless steel.. The whole point of stainless steel is it does not rust. The standard screw and nail construction stainless steel are called the 300 series, or 18-8 (which means about 18% chromium and 8 % nickel). These are the ones that will not rust. All the work I perform when fixing roofs is 100% necessary for the area I a fixing to be the last area on the entire roof to ever leak again. If that is your goal then hire someone like me. FYI to anyone reading this far - if a "roofer" ever gets on your roof with a hose do not hire him! A good roofer can look at the design of the roof, the water flow and the roof itself and tell you exactly where the leak is coming from and where it is not coming from and what it will cost right there on the spot. Unless you have a particularly complicated roof design. If your roofer has a hose in his hand it is because he has no clue what the water is doing and he needs to see it with his own eyes. That's a classic example of lack of experience.

@@SouthCountyRoofing i

Cooking?

Because of a pretty large leak in the room below the valley,

I will. I need to bid it tomorrow and, I will follow up. Thank you for the reply!

West Coast Roofer Thank you, I enjoy seeing someone take the time for a quality job and doing correctly. Remember to always give JESUS your all! He died so we could live.

I do Jason, without the lord in my life I have nothing. Thank god, I will never have to worry about that :)

are you saying that if there were no invisible man in the sky you would have nothing? you wouldn't have the same skills as you have now? you sell yourself short. there are millions of people who know there is no invisible man in the sky and have just what you have. think about it.

freethinker52 I don’t understand why someone’s beliefs would trigger you to say something negative. You view on the matter wasn’t needed .

Probably some stoner clown Hope he is happy after screwing $ the home owner

Not really!

It's under the tile. It's referred to as tile pan.

And get in the shade...............lol

Can you crucify someone with an electric nailer?

My thoughts as well, the house should be framed strong enough to take that extra weight

I believe it was below. Although, the broken tile was letting additional water under the tile causing the felt membrane to get saturated and that wont help.

West Coast Roofer - Roofing and Roof Repair how does felt membrane get saturated? isn't that what it's for. prevention of water???

@@shandelebroyles1099 No. That's what the roof is for

Nvm, you’re in socal and im norcal. Great vid anyway

I recently relocated north east WA. Looking forward to cold weather roofing soon.

It can be pricey to fix this stuff.

it's the fat compressing his lungs

Hes a fat fuck. He has his workers do everything while his fat ass does nothing

@@rudystraight1750 Well, he is the boss.

Stuff looks heavy duty

If you can't find someone to properly install them then yes, avoid them : )

I'm not bad mouthing. The roof doesn't have any "seals" and not even close to every joint is cracked. Its a tile roof. Its under 25 years old. These roofs can and do go 50 years "if" properly maintained. You never lift every tile unless you plan to throw them away. Read the manufactures warranty. They do not want you lifting them unless to repair a leak in a "specific" area. And, the owner did not complain of "leaks" everywhere. They had one very easy to solve leak.

The dining room the bedroom drip noise in which you said you were not going to look into. And "if properly maintained" and it was not. lots of cracked/ chipped tiles. and of course, the manufacturer doesn't want you lifting the tiles up. just look at the condition there in under 25yrs

It's usually about 10 to 15% the cost of a new one.

The epa doesn't like lead being used on our roofs. We do have "galvanized" 24" wide "W" valley that we use instead. About the same effect.

I did not know that. In the UK lead is still a very common building material (albeit slowly getting phased out for more modern compound alternatives). Only though, largely due to theft and reasonably high scrap values. We have on occasion used fibre glass valleys, although I can't pretend to be much of a fan as the rigity of the design does not allow for any natural movement the roof has taken. Any particular reason why the EPA doesn't like lead?

It is toxic.

EPA is clearly a bit more anal than us here in the UK :P

It's true. All the roofs in that track of homes are like this. I think the tiles were not properly handled during shipping, storing, and loading.

Me? lol. I don't break tiles.

Lots of HOAs won't let you do that.

My au t called around for a replacement for her ashohalt shingle roof, she was told $20,000 by a few roofers, then she found two brothers that did the roof in corrugated ed green metal, $5000, they did good, tight work.ALWAYS get 3 quotes; you would be surprised how many sharks will give you a ridiculous price.can you blame them if It works once in a while....?

That was quite a while ago I bet. I have worked on a few of those. Takes a great deal of skill.

see what I mean about the bs

Tile roofs over Skipped Sheeting DID leak. Thank you Monier Tile, I mean Monier/Lifetile, I mean Boral Industries................lol

obviously know nothing about roofing like this contractor

Alot of them don't.

It's bad.

Tile is really good for your home "if" done correctly.
