When the Job Ladder is an Actual Ladder

Job LadderWhen the Job Ladder is an Actual Ladder – The Labor Shortage (August 30, 2017). By Dan Kilcoyne, GAF

It seems everybody wants to climb the job ladder, but no one wants to climb a ladder on the job. Right now, roughly 200,000 construction jobs sit unfilled in the United States.

The demand for residential homes is far outpacing our capacity to build them. A recent survey by HomeAdvisor lays it out in bleak terms: Of the firms surveyed, 93 percent said they believed the labor shortage is standing in the way of their growth.

Pitch Pan
_

Job LadderProblems with pitch pockets (a type of roof flashing used to seal penetrations) prevail on all types of roofs but are most typical on built-up or modified bitumen roofing systems.

There are many reasons a pitch pocket fails: the sealer can dry out and shrink or if the structure wrapped by the pitch pocket moves or vibrates. Premature failure may be due to improper installation (e.g. incompatible materials) or lack of maintenance. Regardless of the reason, all pitch pocket problems mean leaks.

Prevent It

Routine inspections and basic maintenance (e.g. refilling the sealer) are the best course of action to keep pitch pockets in working order. If your roof has a high volume of penetrations, you should have it inspected every three to four months.

Repair It

If pitch pocket metal is completely corroded, contractors will remove the existing pitch pocket, put in new metal, and clean the old solution. Lastly, they’ll mix a two-part epoxy and install the new pitch pocket.
