#roofing #pipeflashing #plumbing

This video shows the process that I use to install a pipe flashing into an existing shingled roof. Sometimes I don't exactly know where I want to make a penetration through the roof decking for a plumbing vent until after the shingles are installed. I use this method quite a bit, actually. It may take a few more minutes than if you installed during the roofing installation, but it's not that big of a deal. I like this Oatey pipe flashing because you can replace the rubber gasket that seals around the pipe. Over time, weather in general, puts wear on the flexibility of the seal and can dry out and crack...thus creating a leak. But, with this type flashing changing out the gasket is a breeze. You don't have to replace the entire thing which can lead into more work (shingle repair) especially on older shingled roofs which tend to get brittle over time. So, if you haven't' used this type, I recommend that you try it out.

This is not a sponsored video. These are the products that I have chosen for the best results possible for this particular project. But, if anyone would like to sponsor W.K.D. Construction to use their products...then by all means, contact me! If I use a certain product, it's for a good reason. I stand behind all of my work and the products I install.
