Plumbing Jacks | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 4/17/2013	Saw a 23 year old metal shingle roof today, but none of the plumbing vents had jack flashings - just a ton of "goop." Seems wrong, but I don't see a lot of metal roofs in my area.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18303/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 4/17/2013	Paul, with that particular type of metal roof, it is possible there is a flashing underneath the shingles that brings water back out on top of the next lower course of shingles. In that case, the goop is just a protective measure but not the full defense against water. That said, this still would not be the flashing method prescribed by the product's manufacturer which would have been Alcoa Building Products at the time, now Classic Metal Roofing,	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18304/find/
