Tom Raymond Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 1854 house with an original dormer over the stairs, 2x4 rafters, no insulation, original plaster ceiling, 7-10 year old 3 tab roof cover. Pitch was approaching 1.5/12. I have seen wheel chair ramps that were steeper. Click to Enlarge 58.68 KB Nice job staggering the breaks.

I can't believe that emulsion is enough to keep this thing from leaking-we had rain for days prior to the inspection, including a whopper of a thunderstorm. I told my client to expect a leak any minute. Click to Enlarge 55.74 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPdesign Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Actually, the roof on one of the additions to my house looks almost exactly like this except that I have felt. It has a small leak but I actually think it is because some of the old OSB sheathing between 2x4 rafters has sunken a little causing a "flat" area that may be pooling. What do you gentlemen think of the *new to me* waterproofing layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes I did. "Expect it to leak any minute" was in the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
