 Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:33 am Post subject: low slope transition problem |
 |
|
Here is a pic of something I looked at today. It is leaking, presumably at the spot on the overhang where the two roof planes meet. Steeper portion is a 3 and other is 1.5. Not steep. I am thinking it needs a copper pan in this area, and probably a low slope roof material on the 1.5
Any ideas on how best to deal with this appreciated
thanks |

Hard to say without standing on it, but:
chimney = suspect
gutter dumping on low pitch = suspect
rotten wood area = suspect _________________ -Jason

Its a wall not a chimney, but that flashing need to be re-done. The rotten wood area is the problem area. That is where I am thinking coppper pan, bent onto both roofs and around the over hang. Crown a and rake board will be replaced. Other large pieces of step can be placed below this first piece once I get past the transition. |

That porch should never have been shingled at all. I'm not sure what whoever designed that was thinking. Those shingles, at a quick glance they look ok, have some granules and are mostly sealed, but what is up with that cracking? |

Don't know. See a lot of it around here. Those are real random on this job. Porch appears to be an add-on or an afterthought. _________________ DIY Roof Help Va.
