bedroom water leak.


very old flat roof above,repairs have been done in the past along the roof's edge,but the seal onto the old roof its very dry and cracking slowly with the seasons

seams are in need of repair either temporary or permanent
\


applied roof cement for wet applications and a reinforcing fabric to ensure a good seal on these faulty seams

water ponds on this spots allowing the faulty seams to leak

re-sealed the seam where the ne material along the gutter edge was installed but the tie-in with the existing roof was under water
very old roof in the need of replacement,temporary patches were done after sweeping water off of the membrane



opening at base of chimney,this problem unresolved will damage the brick work allowing water to enter and destroy the masonry work from the inside out resulting in very expensive repairs and reconstruction of such an important element in the property.



the damage its rather evident,not to mention the possibility of mold behind the wall
