Hi, I'm Tim Carter and I'm here in the Caribbean. I'm on top of the roof and I wanted to show you a situation where the wrong product was used and some of the problems that it's causing. Take a look at this
0:14
So here we are. This is a sloped asphalt single roof and the contractor installed underneath it, Grace Ice and Water Shield
0:24
And that is their trademark logo of their flagship product. The problem is the problem is the property
0:29
The problem is though, on the inside of the house in different areas, this particular product
0:36
has actually started to drip because the asphalt material inside the ice and water shield
0:43
product has basically liquefied. And you can actually see some interesting issues here
0:49
If you look and see these horizontal lines right here, those are indicative of where underneath
0:57
the Grace Ice and Water shield, there are gas. in a material, I would not be able to push that if there was no gap
1:05
And that's wrong, in the specifications it clearly says that you are not supposed to have any gaps between the material
1:14
But this particular roof, because of the high temperatures, the dark shingles, these are a dark brown
1:23
should have used the Grace Ultra product, which was available at the time this particular house was constructed. instructing
