The rental cabin needs repair work in Sevierville, TN.

 

The customer owns rental bins. His cabin has lots of tree coverage and is experiencing roof leaks. The owner also wants to install new gutters.

Dimensional shingles with lots of moss

  1. 1
    lots of moss

    Moss growing on old shingle roof

    The root system of moss grows up between the shingles. This causes water to wick under the shingles resulting in rusted nails and water penetration into the roof.

    Lots of nail pops

    Pipe boot not installed correctly

    This is a picture of a pipe boot and the pipe coming out of the roof This is a picture of a pipe boot and the pipe coming out of the roof

    This pipe boot was installed by just ripping a hole in the shingles, and on top of that, it’s not nailed down, letting windblown rain penetrate the roof.

    Broken tree limb on roof

    Rotten tree limbs broke and scattered across the roof, causing superficial damage to shingles. At first, I was sure this limb had punctured the shelter, but luckily, it just scraped it up and messed up the tabs on the dimensional shingles. The pictures at the top will show some of the damage.

    roof decking popping up.

    One of the pieces of roof decking has popped up and freed itself from the nails. This has lifted the shingles just enough to let the wind in between the 2 layers, further breaking more shingle seals. The bottom picture shows a rusted nail, so water is getting under the shingles. 

    This is a picture showing the incorrect placement of the shingles.

    rain diverter not properly installed

    This rain diverter is flush with the shingles that it’s up against. This can allow water to back under the shingles. It should be installed on an angle shown here as the red line.

    This is a picture of the incorrect angle of water flow.

bad roofing repair jobs, plus nail pops, and bad pipe boots

  1. 1
    Bad shingle repair job

    This is a picture of incorrectly installed shingles

    Each red arrow points to a shingle union. A union is where 2 shingles butt together. A shingle should be on a 6-inch stagger. This way the shingle unions don’t come close to lining up. This patch job was done terribly wrong. Some of these shingles are only very small pieces for some reason, and all the unions are right on top of each other.

    ripped shingle to install pipe boot

    As you can see this pipe boot was installed exactly like the other one. The shingle was just torn and then the pipe boot wasn’t even nailed. You should also notice that the edge of the shingle is right at the edge of the pipe boot. The chances of water getting in here are is about 80%.

      This is a picture of boot pipe and the pipe coming out of the roof.

    Nail pops, and un-caulked nail heads.

    Same as the other side, a good amount of nail pops and exposed nail heads with no caulk on it. This is a picture of a nail popping out of the shingles.

    Roof repairs

    The top picture is just more mold growing on the roof. The next one down is buckled shingles on the edged of another poor attempt at a repair. 2nd one down shows a low nail where someone nailed the shingle way too low exposing the nail head. The bottom picture shows a torn shingle possibly from the wind but more than likely from a poor install. This is a picture of moss growing out of the shingle.
