Cleaned a roof and washed a house for a gentleman last Tuesday. I get a call Friday that his wife has noticed water marks on the living room ceiling. :crying:
Made arrangements to examine the interior to find the "end" of the issue. Go up on the roof and instantly noticed the source of the leak...
1/2" gap in the two pieces of ridge vent, open for the wind to let the water flow in and down the roof truss. 6 other joints in ridgevents on this roof were open enough for rain to find its way in.
I guess its a good thing I've grown up on roofs, kinda know where to look first...at the top.
