leaky roof

[holdencaulfield]

^kahit busy ako at ayaw ko sana, ako na ang mag-seal sa lahat ng butas niya


sa boobong.

GH is right. Dont waste your time and money with vulcaseal. Wont last. It becomes brittle after drying and cracks when the roof heats up.
You can also try the sealant brand "Castle": It works but a bit expensive at around 600 per tub. Its available in Ace Hardware.

That explains why every year or so we have to re-do the darn roof. In fact i'm just about to put out the PPP again.

When i construct my own house, I really intend to do the roof well.

Best if you use LONG SPAN ROOFING SHEETS to minimize the number of joints and gaps. This is what my dad did with the house and it stopped all the leaks.

GH, are the PYE products still available locally?

Yes, they are still available. Although we stopped distributing their products, the local company continued on with distribution.

Check with HANDYMAN and ACE HARDWARE branches near your location.

Thanks for the heads-up on the sealant brands to use.

On the house of my grandparents, we already used those long-span, pre-cut sheets along with larger gutters and drain/down pipes (and we trimmed the large trees that kept clogging the drains).

regarding gutters, we put mesh on top of it to prevent leaves from amassing and clogging.

Yup... may mga mesh wire na ako (yung gawa sa green na plastic).

My abode is right next to some real old and large trees so after clearing the roof of leaves, isang ulan na malakas, may mga dahon nanaman sa bubong

mahirap yung tatapalan lang in my opinion. do it right and replace the rusted or busted parts na lang.

Vulcaseal is no good at all. It merely possesses an excellent brand recall in the same light as Silver Swan, Colgate, Xerox, Kleenex, etc...

You need to use silicone based sealant. Not just any ordinary silicone sealant for the sink but make very sure its NON ACIDIC.

As for the "dugtong", it could be the previous installer failed to provide adequate overlapping of GI sheets, which will lead to immediate leaks if a sheet's overlap suddenly rises when it becomes unfastened by the wind or loose nailer.
