steady asked:
I found a leak in my roof it only leaks when it rains hard and is very windy it blows underneath the flashing in a seam. The flashing is just caulked all the way up and both sides and at each seam between the flashing. I doesn’t look like it is roof caulk because it is clear. (1)My question is should I remove all the old caulk then re caulk with roof caulk. Then I planned to black joe the area on top of the caulk. (2)Also my gutters are nailed on top of the shingles should I black joe them too? (3)Also there are a few broken shingles should I just black joe around the broken areas? (4)And why is my drip edge on top of the shingles? I thought it was supposed to be under the ice guard?
