Leaking Metal Roof

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After hail last year got the house roof replaces but no back and forth with contractor as 3 sky-lites ( lite tubes ) were also damaged which now are not made anymore .
 So Insurance turned down pole shed roofs as they say hair is cosmetic and they do not cover that or wear and tear to metal roofs . 
 Hail strikes are over 10 in a measured area of sq ft .  What happened is rebound from hail strike caused nail fasteners to pull out of purlins so have many areas where lead washer galvanized ring nails are 1/2 to 3/4 inches above sheeting.
 Now to figure what is next to try to do . Fight insurance or find another solution . 
Asked insurance adjuster about water damage to interior , was told I should do something to stop it from occurring - it's my responsibility  to secure roof .

	Nails always PULL.. Should never be used.. Pull them out one at a time and install SCREWS with the rubber washer.. If you dont mind the hail dimples... No need to change the tin..
	Like them all, but love the "B"s.

	Had the son in law walk the roof of our 30 year old 60x100 pole shed 2 years ago after noticing some loose nails. He replaced about 50 that day. On older sheds a guy should check that every so many years as maintenance.
