Very unusual roof leak. The tenant us called very concerned a severe roof leak was taking place and water was pouring in even after the rain had stopped, |
3rd floor bedroom ceiling
Another water stain appeared by the circuit breaker panel
the water could be heard dripping in between the walls (the tenant mentioned)
Used a few pens/pencils to show the actual holes found after a very close inspection
We cut an opening at the lowest spot of this "blister"to allow the water out
Trapped water gushing out of the cut made
We anticipated this was going to happen
inspected the roof above the affected area,found a low spot on the roof next to the rain gutter. |
Sealed the roofing membrane over the gutter edge and applied a permanent patch over the low spot.and onto the gutter,this is a permanent solution for this problem |
The material on the gutter edge needs to be re applied. |
Punctures and deep marks on the roofing membrane were found during our roof assessment prior to any repairs. |
Used a few pens/pencils to show the actual holes found after a very close inspection
Pieces of the siding need to be replaced,and all these wall protrusions have to be sealed as needed. |
Loose roofing membrane at the lowest point of the roof This only spells disaster. |
After a close look found the flashing on the adjacent wall was loose,most likely water trapped behind the roof membrane |
We cut an opening at the lowest spot of this "blister"to allow the water out
Trapped water gushing out of the cut made
We anticipated this was going to happen
So we installed the first permanent patch on the gutter edge.
Close to the gutter edge .
We applied caulk on all the openings found on the siding
Sealed all the openings found
We applied caulk on all the openings found on the siding
Sealed all the openings found
When in doubt.we use clear caulk.
