Hi there, you have a lot a value to everyone. The way I’ve been watching you explain things on the inspection is vital information. This gives me and others out there things to look for and how to prevent future damage. Keep on doing your thing, it works and super easy to understand 🎃
Hello your video sent me in the right direction. I think it was an old leak. I have a newer roof the wood around the toilet PVC gas release pipe is rotted. I will be checking on the roof tomorrow. I found this when I was putting a new bathroom fan in and almost put my hand through the rotted wood around the pipe!
Great quality video. Never seen this type of info before. I'll be sucking out my old fiberglass and putting in R-49 in the near future. I think you recommended to do fiberglass vs. cellulous? I'll always have my N-95 out now for going in the attic as you suggested earlier with the live you did a few hours ago that perhaps didn't last as to not a good reception. Ohhhhhhhhhh, 0.3k from giveaway!
Good info here. I'm dealing with the same thing. I ended up opening a soffit vent and used my phone with a selfie stick to get a video of the leak. :-)
I had a vent pipe leak similar to this last September. It leaked once about 2 months after we moved in and I saw the stain where the ceiling meets the wall. We ended up having a new metal roof put on later (for different reasons, shingles were shot and totally gone IMO) and it leaked again at the same spot because the new boot wasn't installed properly with the new roof. Owner came out and sealed it up and it's been fine since. But it's weird the old boot only did it that one time. I never understood how it leaked just that one time. Before the new roof was put on, we had a leak one time at one of our dormers in a really weird spot. I guess water penetrated somewhere higher and ran down where the dormer met our interior wall. Only did it that one time too. No clue. That old roof was in bad shape, and yet, our inspector said it had "at least 5 years left before needing replacement." We had 5 leaks going simultaneously and deck rot that looked pretty advanced. Now, I have some worry about some rafter spacing that is slightly bowed above my garage and the main story. That same inspector said it was rafter spacing, at least. Nobody said anything about it when the new roof was put on. Who knows... Love your vids though. :)
I'm suspecting a vent pipe is the source of my leak, however I only see water on my basement floor around the sewer stack during a very heavy rain and made sure it wasn't the actual plumbing lines around it. Isn't coming through the basement wall either. My roof is only 5 years old so I don't think it's the actual roof. Thank you for the insight👍
I’ve seen jackasses not replace the plumbing stack flange. Yes couple thousand in shingles but forgot the $10 piece and didn’t want to run over on lunch to get it. Reinstalled the original and it then dry rots.
Why would not you have dug you got the big mask on it's probably leaking from inside the pipe I do about a half dozen of these a year they never glued the joint or somebody put a screw through it and it finally rusted out I bet you that or when they nailed the boot down the dummy's nailed face nailed into the bottom of the boot
@@GrandRoofingIncdamn you crazy bro. The person making this comment is clearly a salty twat. But also no way you are covered in cellulose and crawling an attic without charge!?!? I’ve been that guy for years, always being too nice. Too* is the key word here. Nice is good, too nice is bad. You are providing a valuable service just by inspecting. You are taking your time, you knowledge, and also physically working showing up with ladder and tools, and crawling up there. I’ve stopped trying to be too nice. I’ll still be nice as in very pleasant, very honest, and most importantly doing top quality work. But I don’t show to inspect without first confirming inspection costs, as well as the possibility of a wide range of possible issues and remedies that can greatly vary. But rest assured if I can’t provide a solution I won’t charge. I’ve never walked away empty handed because I find an issue and propose a solution. 99% of people take the solution. Literally I think only twice I’ve not gotten the work over 15 years. I take pictures to show to the customer and they then see the problem in real time, suggested route of repair, and costs for the work upfront. But if you want to show up, inspect, and diagnose, and temp repair to stop the leak, you damn right your paying for that service, and then receiving a quote for permanent repair after. Sometimes you get lucky and you can do the permanent repair on the spot, but not usually as it’s generally raining when people make the emergency call. I consider it lucky because if I can still make what I charge, and provide them a solution, and save some materials all in one we both win, myself and the customer. Don’t want to upsell, I even always try to treat it like my roof. Give them the “textbook ‘this isn’t right so fix it’ answer” and then the reality of maybe patching and making it hold off for replacement and give them time to save I’ll explain both options. Not a tar patch, properly patching singles just knowing the rest of the roof is near its end, and to plan accordingly and don’t just think you’re indefinitely safe.

Man that pipe can easily get clogged suppose to be 2” all the way

I guess if you put on a mask like that and go up into the Attic you can jack the price up
There was no price jacking there was not even a charge for that.
Brian is an honest guy who sometimes does not even charge for a simple fix.
