Leak Resolution?

  • Had patio enclosure replaced in may of 2009
  • Tie-in (directly to fascia) leaked in many places
  • Contractor came out and installed a partial 6" flashing along tie-in
  • Tie-in still leaks in numerous spots along 22' ft
  • Roof slope is very shallow
  • Slower/longer rainfall produces more leaking
  • spraying water from hose along bottom 2' of shingles produces same leaks
  • I'm a homeowner, not a roofer
My guess is that water is hugging shingles and running behind the drip-edge then leaking along fascia. Any suggestions on how to remedy would be appreciated.

Re: Leak Resolution?

Pics don't work.

If the roofer gave you a warranty, call a lawyer and have the roofer pay to fix the problem.

Re: Leak Resolution?

What Grumpy said is 100 %... However If you wanted to fix it , you would need to Strip 'er , an go Full Ice /H2o ... OR do a 2 Ply Bit-Mod Torch / Peel Stick over low slope...

Re: Leak Resolution?

need pictures,sounds like the panel closure at the end by the fascia may need to be done better,but without pics,it`s hard to say

Re: Leak Resolution?

Before install a new roof of any type, have an experienced roofer inspect your existing leaking roof to determine the cause of the leaks.
