NJinspector Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Property was flipped. The "flipper" is the one who had it inspected for his buddy who is buying the house. Mortgage company wants it re-inspected. I asked right away what they did about the roof, the said they had no idea what else to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Click to Enlarge 15.02 KB D. Vent Pipe Flashing Methods ââ¬â Flat Roof Two methods of dealing with this condition are shown. The one on the right uses a separate copper cap flashing, the one on the left uses a single sheet of copper for the base and cap flashing.

kurt Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 For some reason, I can't get the link to work to the Iko site. They've got the nicest handbook for mod bit flashing details. You can use a lead sleeve like Bill's (Iko) pic, or you can make a cylinder sleeve out of mod bit, and weld it to the base flashing. Try googling modified bitumen flashing; what comes up when I do that is the Iko site at the top. Use their link to download the handbook; it's invaluable. If I could get my link to work, I'd put it up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocon Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Strip in a regular roof jack similarly to the detail Mark and Bill supplied, use sealant from the jack to the pipe, then install a neoprene collar to protect the sealant. Do not use mastic in contact with the PVC pipe. Click to Enlarge 3.24 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbinspect Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 because... ? My little phone screen didn't do your pic justice. Yeah, that's pretty ugly. Didn't mean to appear smart. I wasn't able to really tell what your concern was. It looked pretty tight on the little screen. Pardon' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJinspector Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks guys!! Great info. Kurt, downloaded the handbook, thx for the link. Michael, No worries, I learn so much from your posts and questions, couldnt possibly be offended. How do you get the site to load on phone? Blackberry too slow for me.

kurt Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yep, that's it. Just curious Rocon, but why wouldn't you just buy a mod bit boot? GAF has a bunch of accessory flashing boots made for mod bit. No caulk, no mastic to worry about with the PVC, no extra parts, no nothing other than a welded mod bit with a lead sleeve collar. The NRCA doc's usually show a mod bit sleeve with a hose clamp to mechanically fasten the sleeve to the vent pipe. I've never seen the southern Cal method.

(thread drift coming) I've been through every generation of T-Mobile SideKick ever made. They're not as spectacular as a lot of phones out there. The SideKick is more akin to a little laptop that will fit in the palm of your hand. I can't bring myself to move (allegedly) up to the newer phones. The sideKick does all that I need it to.

Rocon Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Kurt, Well I would not call it the Southern Cal method. If you want Ideal then use NRCA details. My repair offers ease of install with off the shelf components that offer redundancy at each of the vulnerable spots. It will also outlive the rest of the roof from what I see in the picture. I just designed a solution that would slide over the PVC elbows. I do not believe most lead jackets I have seen have enough wiggle room to make the curve. (I do not suggest having a roofer cutting the intake and exhaust vent for your mechanical system.) Stripping the flashing in gives a redundant mastic level at the flange, and the shape of the jack keeps the mastic away from the PVC. #8195; Alternate: Download Attachment: Flashing.pdf 68.78 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Actually, my mistake on the boot.....I was thinking plumbing vent instead of the PVC combustion vent. I think your method would work great; I've just never seen it and thought it was a southern cal thing. We usually just torch a mod bit sleeve to a base flashing, and clamp the top. On plumbing vents, I use the GAF accessory stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I think I've said this before, but, it's a shame that IKO products aren't as good as their instruction manual.[:-banghea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
