New Extension Roof Leaking

Leaking again today called business number 4 times in last 3 days.

New extension roof leaking.

Told us to call his personal cell. After heavy rain just not discovered a leak. The problem is that we have a leak at 3 points on both corners and in the middle just to the right of our upstairs window where the extension meets the house. Some roof leaks are tough to locate.

Have had a lean to extension built and i have water leaking running down the inside wall. Called and doesn t answer found out it was not his number. Sometimes the water shows up at a ceiling spot distant from the leak. Should we expect the building company to rectify this.

The kitchen has been extended before we moved in and the leak appeared where the new extension meets the old part of the house. Got new roof about 1 year ago started leaking 3 weeks ago. We are using low pitch tiles that can go down to 12degrees. The leak seemed to clear up for several months but has started up again in the last month and has now extended to above the patio doors in the adjoining room but which is still part of the same wall where the leak.

We didn t have any form of formal contract warranty with the building company. A leak in your new roof is extremely upsetting but getting worked up yelling at the roofer or tearing your hair out is not going to get it fixed any faster. An extension completed less than 2 years ago now has a leak in the flat roof. The tiles and underlay will be unable to cope with such large volumes of water over a prolonged period of time and will eventually cave under the pressure causing a leak.

On my drawings i would specify something along the lines roof tiles shall be marley double roman interlocking roof tiles complete with all necessary eaves verge ridge valley and hip tiles including fixints trims and the like all fixed in accordance with the manufacurer s fixing guide and instructions and bs8000 6. So before you pick up the phone and begin to yell at your roof you first need to stay calm and try to assess the situation. The leak appears to be getting in behind the lead cover flashing where new roof joins against existing wall it is code 5 lead chased into wall 25mm. Any suggestions are welcome.

Looks slightly damp above the door to one side so i guess water is coming down the outside wall past the flashing behind the dot and dab plasterboard and landing on top of the french door. Owner came out and put some sealant on ridge vent. Water coming down the side of the old french door now doorway to house extension and trickling to the floor. We have a new extension which is 4 2m x 5m and a pitch of 14 degrees.

If your ceiling has a plastic vapor barrier between the drywall and the attic insulation push the insulation aside and look for flow stains on the plastic often water runs to openings in the vapor barrier such as at ceiling light fixtures.
