It looks like either the roof is getting granules washed from the rest of the roof or it's degraded a bit near the roof drain. It's a low slope roof. The membrane underneath seems ok. What's the best way to repair or patch this?
My driveway gets shingle granules on it because I don't have a gutter on that side of the house. Nothing wrong with the driveway, that's just where they happen to collect, in the lowest parts of the pavement. You're having the same thing happen. The water doesn't flow fast enough to wash them down the drain. If you look in the gutters of most any house you will find shingle granules.
Doesn't mean a repair is necessary, it's normal wear and tear. If you feel like you need to do something about it there are multitudes of roof coatings that you could roll on. The white ones are good because because reflect heat.
If I put a patch over the existing layer, how do I deal with the drain part? Cut and fold the rubber corners inside the drain or just put extra rubber cement around it?
"If I put a patch over the existing layer..." What do you need to patch? You are just seeing the granules and dirt accumulate in a low part of the roof.
Hello,
I live in NE Ohio, where the winters can be very snowy. I live in a house that is 80 years old. The previous owners had issues with ice dams. A roofer put down ice/water shield down on the decking 4’ up from the eaves. I noticed last year that the snow was melting unevenly on the roof, which leads me to believe that the insulation needs to be replaced. The attic is half finished. There is a closet behind the front part of the roof that runs nearly the entire length. There is some kind of grayish insulation in there now that is held in place by some boards with holes in them. Behind the rear part of the roof is a bathroom and a bedroom. There is no ridge vent. I also noticed last year that ice formed behind the fascia board and down the brick on both sides of the house. A roofer is coming over to replace the fascia on the front of the house and adding snow guards.
Ive attached a couple pictures of the ice. With all of this information, do you have any suggestions about how I can resolve the issues with ice?
Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, my 25'x10' garage has like seven 3' wide strips of roofing material rolls, it's beginning to wear out so I would like to cover it with new material. I don't know the name of that carpet roll thingy, can anyone link me to what I will need to get from Home Depot please?
