THAT leak

You might find 2 minutes is not enough to get a small amount of water to get where you want it, maybe 10 min on spray. Try to replicate rain as splash zone will be included. 

 

I am sure you will get this eventually. 

Yeah I did think that . How much is ‘enough ‘ ……

[MPH243]

If I lived nearer I could send one of the kids over to do it,  but they would just spray everything including inside🤣.

 

How about modifying a sprinkler to spray a limited area. (not sure how to though) 

[Pocster]

Hosed that front wall today for a change . Nothing ….

[Pocster]

Have now hosed all the walls - nothing .

 

Looks like we’re due heavy rain tomorrow- so the ultimate test !!!

[DamonHD]

We we meant to have stopped nipping round in the night to pee on your walls yet?  The train fares are getting too much...  Also, I'd like to check that I have the right address...

Plenty of rain last night ; and still leaks 🫤

Determined to fill all the cracks 

[Pocster]

In the wall !!

[MPH243]

That's a shame,  I think you need to just spray your water over areas further away than where you think it is.  Use your 10min over 3 or 4 foot area. 

 

That's what you get for living in a cave🤣.

[Pocster]

I made the (expletive deleted)er leak !!!!

 

Been hosing various areas all day long with no joy . So can’t be certain of which bit tbh - but all areas tested today in the same area !!

[Pocster]

Ok !

This area . Jet on it for 15 mins - leaks 

It could be the flat roof damaged underneath the decking . But , that flashing seam looks like a possible candidate!!

[Pocster]

Assume that seams the issue . Just fill with ct1 ? Notice the roofers ‘gunk’ where the seam goes into the angle grinded wall slot is slightly recessed compared to the rest ….

[Andehh]

That looks suspicious to me,

Yep - what to fill it with though ? - I guess it probably doesn’t matter ….???

[Andehh]

Clean as deep as you can with builders wipes, let it dry then Ct1 or equivalent, slightly warmed and pushed in deep! Smooth to finish.

Overlapping lead flashing joint?

Thank goodness you have found a likely place.  This could of gone on for years😁

I’ve got a feeling it’s always been like that ! 
So the roofers error ! . Anyway , need to fix it 1st - hose it forever , then celebrate if no leak ! 😊

[MPH243]

Are you taking that piece of decking up as well to check what is below?

Dear God,

 

Please look after Mr Pocster.

Help him find the cause of the leak, and if you can

stop it raining on Mr Pocsters House

Help him develop enough patience and serenity to help him through this difficult time in his life

And if he doesn't find the source of the leak, help him by making the rainwater  warm

Help him in his futile attempts to be a Handyman and 

give him enough money to buy a wig  because hair is still not growing on it.

 

Amen
