Pocster Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Was touch clammy on the leak spots this morning . So decided to tip carefully 2 watering cans of water over just the roof seams . Hour later no evidence of a drip . Hosed just the bottom 25cm of the render - so testing that stone joint and the roof seams again . Hour later no evidence of additional water ingress …. Going to try hosing the entire corner but not over the coping stone . Potentially as the coping stone is twice weathered water could run off in both directions .
Pocster Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Zero water ingress as far as I can tell . So … need to look at that coping stone - the other side !
Pocster Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Hmmmmm Some gaps . So I guess in theory when I hose the wall and coping stone it could run down this side - track under pass the drip channel . There are gaps - so will mix some cement and fill them
Pocster Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Really want a better way to finish that edge - some form of flashing ???

Pocster Posted Thursday at 10:35 Author Posted Thursday at 10:35 (edited) Bone dry today as expected inside . Just hosed the entire corner making sure it spills over the coping stone . Will wait 10 mins . Check inside . If dry will repeat . Edited Thursday at 10:36 by Pocster
Pocster Posted Thursday at 10:50 Author Posted Thursday at 10:50 Was dry so repeated the soaking . Problem is just sweat on my fingers makes it tricky ! Will check inside in 10 mins
Big Jimbo Posted Thursday at 13:59 Posted Thursday at 13:59 Stick your hand in a bag of flour. Shake off, then stick your finger in the hole. The flour will pick up any moisture and show easily. 1

Big Jimbo Posted Thursday at 15:39 Posted Thursday at 15:39 Yeah, but it does work.....As does the talc.
SteamyTea Posted Friday at 06:23 Posted Friday at 06:23 14 hours ago, Big Jimbo said: Yeah, but it does work.....As does the talc. Does it work with Vim, or cocaine?
Big Jimbo Posted Friday at 06:55 Posted Friday at 06:55 @SteamyTea I think that Vim might be a bit gritty, and if you have a bag of cocaine big enough to stick your hand in, it's doubtful that you care about trying to find a small leak. Although depending on your supply, the cocaine could well have quite a high content of Vim in it anyway. 1 1
Pocster Posted Friday at 08:45 Author Posted Friday at 08:45 Hosed the corner this morning. Made the tinniest damp area appear . So small it didn’t even form a droplet of water . So a bit more investigation required .
Pocster Posted Sunday at 14:24 Author Posted Sunday at 14:24 Been hosing that corner like it’s the end of the world . Many times a day since Friday . Yet to reproduce any leak at all ! . Not 100% convinced yet but …… getting there …… 3
