00:00 Hello folks, it's Mike Hanson again and I'm here in believe or not San Antonio. We're going to show you another really kind of a mistake that the roofer made on this roof and if you ever need any roofing You know we're in the business here Mike Hanson here Guadalupe Valley Services at 512-656-0521 And we're gonna talk to Simon He's the head roofer here and he is an expert on it. He's going to show you a common mistake. Okay Simon, go ahead! Actually, this valley has three mistakes in one valley and we haven't looked at the other valleys on the house. The first mistake is that this particular type of valley... Mike if you could shoot the valley? It's what they call a half-laced valley it's a style of working the valley where this section of roof is going up and across and under and this part's coming on top of it and then it's cut back That in and of itself is not wrong except that

00:57 This section should go across and this section should be cut back because if you pan the camera You'll see that. This is the bigger section of roof There's more water coming off this section than there is off this little section over here So when the water, this can overwhelm and run underneath this roof in a heavy rain. If this part went up and under it would just run off onto the roof they collide The force of this water collides with this force but this is overwhelming You always pick the bigger section to be the part that's cut back The smaller section overlaps the valley Mistake number one in this valley. The second mistake is that when you do cut the part that overlaps, the manufacturer wants it cut back out of the center so this one's lapped wrong and its actually cut past center they want 2 to 3 inches out of the center to get a clean flow of water That way you don't get all this debris that you see thats trapped underneath the valley here All that will wash clean if this valley was cut back Should have been laced the other way should have been cut back

02:00 And the final error that they made was when you cut through these shingles Every once in a while you get a square edge like that naturally. Okay, and that's correct but when you get a point like this the manufacturers want those points nipped off or cut off because these points can catch twigs and leaves and make a dam there they can make a blockage that Can actually flood the valley it can cause a leak That will only happen when you get a really really big rain It'll be a mystery leak You know during a normal rain it won't happen Big rain, it'll leak and a lot of roofers don't even know how to fix that. You'll pay them to come out and do the repair And then you're out two or three hundred dollars and it doesn't leak for two or three years... ...and you get a gully washer! You get 3-4 inches of rain in 30 minutes and its leaking again! Then the guy's telling you while I fixed one spot, it's another spot or whatever excuse they have because the original roofer did it wrong and the guy who did the repair didn't know how to repair it
