Had a similar run-in last year when I was retrofitting a green roof after a hailstorm. One inspector just wanted to see the drainage layer and called ...
Funny you mention that—after the last hailstorm, I spent more time cleaning debris out of my gutters than I ever did flushing a UF membrane. I remembe...
I’ve actually had better luck with the metal retrofit collars than I expected. Threw one on a cracked boot last fall, and it’s held up through two hai...

Had a similar experience a few years back, but honestly, sometimes sealants aren't the worst temporary fix—depends on your situation. I had a leak aft...
