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 Posted May 16 Posted May 16 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 Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 Have now hosed all the walls - nothing . Looks like we’re due heavy rain tomorrow- so the ultimate test !!!
DamonHD Posted May 20 Posted May 20 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... 1 2

MPH243 Posted May 21 Posted May 21 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🤣. 1
Pocster Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 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 !! 1
Pocster Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 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 Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 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 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 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. 1

MPH243 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Thank goodness you have found a likely place. This could of gone on for years😁 1

So the roofers error ! . Anyway , need to fix it 1st - hose it forever , then celebrate if no leak ! 😊
MPH243 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Are you taking that piece of decking up as well to check what is below?

ToughButterCup Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) 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 Edited May 23 by ToughButterCup 1
