Surrey Tile Roof Leak Repair

Case Study

Slap the architect. He only put one drain in the gutter system around the drain so resultantly it holds a lot of water at the opposite corner to that of the drain. We can put more drains into the gutter system it is just what do you do with the water they collect?

This is where I first thought the cause of the leak would be when I looked at it from the ground. It isn’t pretty and it isn’t really well done but it may not need to be worked on if the leak is actually caused from where I found the plugged drain to be

I pulled two full double hands worth of gunk out of this gutter. It was seriously plugged. I’m hoping the water got so high (due to the plugged drain) it got in under the gutter membrane and the stucco wall and then ran down into the garage. It’s not out of reason. Let’s see what happens.

On this call-out, for a roof leak on a Surrey tile roof, water build-up was the culprit. This problem began on the architects drawing board, with too few drains specified in the gutter system. Under heavy rainfall, the system was unable to shed the water as fast as it collected. Some additional drains would definitely help.

A rather unsightly roof detail suggested that may be the cause of the leak, but then I found a more likely suspect.

Two full double handfuls of gunk were removed from the gutter. This clog caused the water to rise in the gutter, where it seeped under the membrane and stucco wall, causing it to run down into the garage.
