Roof Leaks






Sometimes things aren't that hard to figure out. Here was a situation where leakage had been occurring around the windows. It was apparently aggravated by ice and snow. The owner thought it was a stucco problem but actually it had to do with the roof.




A old flat tin roof with a masonry parapet and limestone cap was above. The joints at the limestone needed to be recaulked. The roof which had been coated numerous times with metal roof paint was probably ready for replacement with a rubber membrane.

  1. Good catch, Looks like another case where someone thought a bucket of mucket was a repair when in actually it not even a good patch.
