A roof plug is provided that includes a plug member and a tray member. The tray member includes a recessed portion and a flange portion and is made of a rigid material. The recessed portion includes a base, has at least one opening disposed therein, and has a plurality of side walls each extending upwardly from the base to the flange portion. The flange portion is also oriented outward from a top edge of the plurality of side walls of the recessed portion. The plug member fits into the recessed portion of the tray member. At least one opening in the base provides visual inspection of the plug member when located in the recessed portion. The product serves to plug a hole left behind by a static roof vent when converting to other methods of roof ventilation. Generally, the product can be used to fill any holes in the roof deck sized 88 or 1212.

A shingle patch for repairing damaged asphalt shingles including a base member having a notched portion or a thin sheet of material associated with one end thereof for sliding under the existing shingle located immediately above the damaged shingle, a sealant covering at least a portion of the notched portion or thin sheet of material and the bottom surface of the base member for attaching the base member to the damaged shingle, and color granules associated with at least a portion of the top surface of the base member. A nail may be embedded in the base member to further secure the shingle patch to a damaged shingle. An additional two-piece shingle patch is provided wherein the base member is further separated into two separate parts, an upper base member and a lower base member, the lower base member including the notched portion or a thin sheet of material.

This embodiment specifically pertains to the field of roofing to find roof leaks or problems fast and easy. This idea and components can find the exact location of a leak in a matter of seconds by simply looking through the paper. See-through paper can turn a do-it-yourselfer into a professional instantly to find leaks from water, gas, or related roofing problems or any roof; flat or pitched. This two layer system, plastic (clear) (FIG. 1) and blotter-paper (FIG. 2), allows leaks to finally be seen as they happen and will stop them in their tracks. Optionally wireless pressure sensitive pads (FIG. 3) alerts owners of buildings or authorities to IPhones or laptop computers of fires, sparks, or intruders. A repair kit (FIG. 4) allows amateurs or professionals to seal and repair roof leaks. Kit includes caulking, clear adhesive, 2 hand rollers, and one pointy trowel.

A shingle repair patch is provided that may include a base member and granules as discussed in detail above. An adhesive strip is positioned proximate an upper edge on the underside of the base member, or elsewhere on the underside of the base member. The adhesive strip preferably permanently bonds a rigid lip to the base member. The rigid lip preferably extends beyond the upper edge of the base member. An adhesive strip may be positioned on at least a portion of the bottom side of the rigid lip. Release tape is temporarily affixed to the adhesive strip. The adhesive strip is composed of an adhesive that adheres securely without an extended or heat-induced cure period. Standard adhesive may be applied to the remainder of the bottom of the base member, or further adhesive like that found in the adhesive strip may be applied to the remainder of the bottom of the base member.

An integral nail/disk structure that eliminates the need of having any exposed nails associated with a shingled roof having a color matching body member integrally formed with a roofing nail. Another embodiment including a fastener such as a nail or screw having an enlarged head and an associated gasket member for fastening sheet metal to a roof structure. The gasket member has a sealant on both of its top and bottom surfaces so as to adhere both to the underside of the enlarged head portion of the nail or screw, and to the sheet metal to create a waterproof seal. Still another embodiment includes an enlarged cap member associated with a gasket member attached to its underside portion wherein the cap/gasket member can be attached over a fastener hole in a roof, or over a faulty roofing nail or screw in lieu of caulking techniques usually used to cure leaks where the faulty fastener attaches sheet metal to a roofing structure.

A shingle patch for repairing a damaged portion of a damaged shingle including a base member having colored granules associated with at least a portion of its top surface, a two sided adhesive tape having its top adhesive surface attached to the bottom surface of the base member and its bottom adhesive surface attachable directly to the damaged portion of the damaged shingle. In one embodiment, the two sided adhesive tape can extend past one end portion of the base member to form a notched portion and, in another embodiment, only a portion of the top adhesive surface is attached to only a portion of the bottom surface of the base member to form a flap portion which is movable to expose the remaining portion of the top adhesive surface of the two sided adhesive tape located under the flap portion to allow a roofing nail to be nailed therethrough.

A shingle patch for repairing damaged shingles or overlaying exposed nails on a roof structure including a base member with and without a notched portion on one end for sliding under an existing shingle located above the damaged shingle or the shingle with exposed nails, a sealant covering at least a portion of the notched portion and the bottom surface of the base member for attaching the base member to the damaged shingle or to another shingle, and color granules associated with at least a portion of the top surface of the base member. The shingle patch can likewise include a fold for mating with a peak on a roof for overlaying exposed nails associated with a last ridge cap shingle or it can be used flat to cover exposed nails at roof/wall intersections and the like. The notched portion can also be formed solely from the sealant member.

In a method of repairing a blistered portion of a thermosoftening membrane, a heated air dispensing device is provided, having an elongated nozzle including at least one outlet aperture. The blistered portion of the thermosoftening membrane is pierced to form an opening sized to receive the elongated nozzle. The elongated nozzle is inserted through the opening and into an interior cavity of the blistered portion, with the interior cavity being at least partially defined by a thermosoftening material. The heated air dispensing device is operated to dispense heated air through the at least one outlet aperture into the interior cavity of the blistered portion to at least partially melt the thermosoftening material. A force is applied to an exterior surface of the blistered portion to flatten the blistered portion, thereby substantially eliminating the interior cavity.

An integral one-piece nail/disk structure which eliminates the need of having any exposed nails associated with a shingled roof, the nail/disk structure including a body member having a roofing nail incorporated or encapsulated therewithin and having color granules associated with at least a portion of the top surface of the body member. The nail/disk structure may include a sealant covering at least a portion of the bottom surface of the body member. The roofing nail is integrally formed with the body member.

Roof drying processes and associated systems. A representative process includes drawing moisture-laden air from within the internal structure of a roof via a vacuum blower, a extraction insert and an extraction manifold, and removing moisture from the moisture-laden air via a dehumidifier. The dry air can be directed back into the roof through an injection insert and an injection manifold.
