    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Thanks Garyd. Makes me wish I'd gotten up there after the installation tech left and examined/fixed his work. Hindsight's always 20/20 though. I'm planning to remove the footplate tomorrow and seal the holes in the shingles with sealant. Not sure how to seal the sheathing underneath without...

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Thanks Chip. I'm gonna have a professional roofer replace the shingles next spring. Hoping some Henry's 209 XR gets me through the winter without any more problems. Christmas has got me a bit strapped or I'd call a roofer tomorrow.

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Thanks Claude. I've been examining the underside in the attic and it appears to be pretty solid. The condition of the wood facing the shingles does have me a little worried. I got some Henry's Wet Patch 209 XR according to N6BY's recommendation. I hear it's good stuff. From what I gather it's...

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Wow, pretty cold for a high. We average around 35-40 at night and 55-60 daytime in the winter which is okay. Pay for it in the summer though with 100 degree days and high humidity.

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Thanks Jimbo. I'm debating whether to try removing the lag bolts and prying the footplate off the roof. If it resists being removed I guess I could leave it there and cover it with a good quality sealant.

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Thanks raoul5788. I'm thinking about breaking down and paying a professional to replace the shingles in the late winter/early spring before the rainy season begins in April. I'm probably a bit below average in the being handy dept. Hey, thanks for the kind welcome!

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Many thanks jcrandall. It didn't occur to me that removing the foot might damage the shingles. I'm leaning toward leaving it on the house and sealing around and over it.

    Direct TV Satellite Dish Mount Causing Roof Leak

    Hello, several days ago I noticed water seeping (not dripping) into the corner of my attic while it was raining. The water is coming in directly under where Direct TV mounted their satellite dish 10 years ago. I ended my Direct TV service 2 years ago and had a handyman take down the dish but...
