    when is raining in my new roof in some parts of my house the water goes underneath of the tiles my question is it's normal for a concrete tiles or they didn't do a good job

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You should not be seeing rain draining through the eaves in a flow, but it will drip or vent out from the eave closure holes. Concrete tiles absorb about 10x more moisture than clay tiles, so this moisture that absorbs into the tiles has to go somewhere. It will vent out from underneath or it will evaporate back out of the tiles. It should not really be flowing underneath the tiles though.

    Excellent video. Quite informative. We are currently building our home in Jamaica and our community requires the use of a specific clay tile...I am trying to learn as much as I can about it before the installation happens. I've heard so many bad things about clay tiles...I have no clue about the process...but we are hoping our roofer does an excellent job.

      Thank you, clay tiles are great when installed correctly. Jamaica, being in the island should have a code close to the Miami-Dade HVHZ code. The unfortunate thing with clay tiles is during tropical storms / hurricanes, they may break easily - just make sure trees are not too close to the house and you should be okay.

    Great video and very detailed. Question, why are the ridge caps foamed instead of nailed? Which would be better for wind mitigation?

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! Florida Building Code calls for them to be foamed, only the rake tiles are nailed on and mortared. Pull likely depends on the size and quality of the fastener. ICP makes some good foam though.

    i have a similar roof in cape coral. Ian took off about 60 hip caps I'm thinking that 20 years later the glue was not holding. Your job really depends on the glue. How long does it last?

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There is no telling, it depends on what adhesive was used, who installed it (did they make the paddy size large enough? Did the roof pass updated wind load calculations via an engineer who correctly performed a tile uplift test?)
      There are two brands of tile adhesive in South Florida. ICP (made by 3M) and Tile Bond. ICP is much better and is a 2-part adhesive vs. the 1-part Tile Bond.
      In order to pass final inspection on a new tile roof, the roof must pass an engineer's tile uplift test where they check the strength of the tiles. First off, there are many scam engineers out there who do the test and pass it for roofers even though it doesn't meet code. Second, the wind uplift requirements change every coupe of years, so a roof put on in 2022 has much stricter wind uplift than a roof put on in 2020 as they expanded uplift zones etc. pretty recently.
      If you need help, let us know. We are working in Cape Coral - my parents actually live there.

      You need to pull the metal back and change the plywood if the wood is bad. Hard for most people to do unless you have a lot of construction experience. If the metal and wood is in fine shape and the leak is through the fasteners, then remove the fasteners, re-fasten and cover over with @PolyglassUSA SA P... make sure you apply heat and pressure on any SA roll.

    I'm considering tile, you mentioned a 50 year life but the underlayment is only 30. My question is, why would the underlayment degrade if terracotta doesn't get hot like concrete or asphalt?

    • @TheTimkanak
      @TheTimkanak 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The underlayment will still degrade over time as no tile is 100% waterproof. These tiles are Grade 1, the highest rating for moisture absorption, but they will still allow a percentile of moisture to absorb through the tiles and into the paper. The higher grade the tiles the better this will protect the underlayment.
      The maximum underlayment warranty I have seen is a material only warranty from CT Flintlastic that gets up to 50 years, but that is not a workmanship and material warranty like Polyglass provides and also is a little more expensive for that underlayment (which is a granulated cap sheet).
      The companies of course when providing a warranty will only provide warranties for products they KNOW 100% will last that long, so the 30 year warranty only marks the beginning of the failure rate. The roof could still last 30-50 years, however that will depend on owner maintenance (how well the roof is maintained over time - because even when you get a new roof, you still have to maintain it - just like buying a new car) and additionally on pest control (the #1 cause of leaks in South Florida are termites!!!)

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Many reasons, but here are two.
      1. This house is Miami-Dade and you have to use foam at that slope, it's a higher code than regular Florida Building Code.
      2. Foam is better, less holes in a roof = better, especially with concrete tiles which absorb a lot more moisture than these clay tiles and due to the Florida rains need cleaned all the time. The more movement on the roof from cleaners, etc. on the roof, the more likely the nails wiggle, move and expand the hole in the roof for water to run into. Additionally the moisture absorption is likely to crack out the tiles around the nail holes when they are fastened in rather than adhered.

    After installing the tile on the eave closure metal, I’m using copper metal, do you seal the space between the copper and the tile or leave it as is. I’m concerned about insects getting in under the tile if I don’t use joint and termination sealant to cover the space between the tile and the copper edge?

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you have copper drip edge, generally you have mortar or clay eave closures. I have never seen copper eave closure metal before and I'm sure it would have to be custom made if you do have copper eave closure metal. Most eave closure metals are made in painted galvanized steel and or aluminum. If either of these metals are touching a copper drip edge, it will cause electrolysis and the copper drip metal will rust out.

      Thank you, Florida is a very wet climate, especially in south Florida. We are basically in the Caribbean and this roof is only across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. We get hit with many hurricanes, so we have the most stringent building code in the United States in South Florida. This is the method for all of Florida though, but in other parts of the country they can nail tiles on rather than using foam. I've even heard of people in other parts of the country loose laying them haha.
      On a steeper roof (more than 6/12) we would use 1x2 battens to nail the tiles in. Most residential roofs in South Florida are 3/12 - 5/12 however.

      Haha, I saw that video. That's a double roll tile. Those tiles were mortar set (like in our Fisher Island project), which means the eaves were likely mortared in, rather than installed with clay or metal. They don't show in the video. It's possible since they were custom installed with mortar, either the mortar cracked out in areas and the bats got in - or the weep holes were formed to large by the tile installer. Many possibilities, or there were broken tiles the bats found shelter in - hard to say.

    First thing you said that is incorrect was the “weep holes” those are meant for airflow. If you top flash your tile roof correctly you will never have water under your tile.

      Concrete and clay absorb moisture. Teaching basics for home owners, it's easier to understand the point is to vent out moisture.

    I have tile roof here in Venice Fl, and the valleys spill out onto another roof slope (same slope, but different direction). They didn't allow for that valley water to channel out onto the next slope, and it goes under the sloped tiles and collect at the bird stops and rotted the roof out. I will check your other vids to see if you show how to do that correctly, but if not, it would be nice if you can show how to do that. Thanks.

      I found the name of what is missing, 'skirt flashing'. As the roof returns back under the valley, the skirt flashing should spill the rain onto the top of the tile on the return. It is missing. Thanks

    My valley tiles in Central CA are crap becasue of all the loose unattaches tile cuts. they wander on their own and trap debris. A miserable fail and leaves get stuck and never wash out, the then water spreads beyond the valley metal. It was done in 92, may last another 20, but lots of install errors. They never used mortar. A rolled terra cotta rubber over the ridges and under the barrels which were never nailed or foamed.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, many installers tend to skip striking lines, because it's time consuming - but you get a much cleaner install that way. A lot of bad roofing is out there haha. 1992 - 2023 is a good roof though, can't complain too much. Here in South Florida the rain, wind and sun don't let roofs last past 25-30 years.
