Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and roofing systems including a hybrid layered structure. In some embodiments, the hybrid layered layer structure, method, and system are used for waterproofing at least one steep slope roof substrate. In some embodiments, the at least one steep slope roof substrate at least one protruding member protruding from the at least one steep slope roof substrate. In some embodiments, the hybrid layered structure comprises a first coating layer, a roofing membrane, and a second coating layer.

The present disclosure relates generally to a roofing system including flashing, for example, suitable for protecting a roof from water leakage. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing system including first, second, and third courses of shingles, where the second course overlaps the first and the third course overlaps the second. A flashing plate is disposed over the first course of shingles and partially under the second course of shingles. The flashing plate and the third course of shingles are spaced apart by a gap in a direction of the slope of the roof between a top edge of the flashing plate and a lower edge of the third course of shingles.

A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof having a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.

A roof mounted diverting device for diverting a direction of flow of gas from a roof-penetrating pipe is provided. The roof-penetrating pipe has a central axis. The device includes a diverter having a lower opening and an upper opening, the upper opening having a central axis; and a seal having a seal opening, the seal opening being con figured to contact an outer surface of the roof-penetrating pipe and form a gas-tight seal with the roof-penetrating pipe. In an assembled state of the device, any of the gas that enters the diverter can only exit the diverter through the upper opening or through the roof-penetrating pipe, and the diverter is installable in multiple different positions, each of die different positions having a different included angle between the central axis of the upper opening and the central axis of the roof-penetrating pipe.

A system, method and apparatus for removing a test seal part from a vent positioned on a roof of a structure and being removable without requiring a person on site to accomplish the same includes a test seal part having a surface for connection enabling removal, wherein the seal part removably sealably connects to the plumbing vent pipe, and a remote controlled apparatus and/or remote controller directly or indirectly removes the test seal part.

A metal roof flashing system includes a pipe flashing assembly including a triangular base flashing, a rubber vent support, and a lower flashing seal. The pipe flashing assembly is structured to receive a roof vent pipe and form a watertight seal around a plumbing vent stack on a roof surface or side wall of a building. The rubber vent support is flexible and contours to and around the roof vent pipe and form a seal. The pipe flashing assembly is able to be installed on a metal roof surface of a building.

The present subject matter provides apparatus for connecting a roof assembly to a membrane using at least one backer rod connected to the membrane, including: counterflashing disposed about the perimeter of the roof assembly, the counterflashing including a plurality of grips configured to receive and engage the at least one backer rod in contact with the membrane, so as to hold the membrane securely in position and maintain a weather seal at a desired flashing height of the membrane. In various examples, the roof assembly includes a roof hatch, window, or other fenestration unit. In various examples, the present subject matter provides a hatch attached to a wall for sealing an opening. In various examples, the present subject matter provides a method for operating a roof assembly for connection to a roof membrane.
