Default I'm puzzled about my leaking roof. It's not leaking like a leak should leak.

Hi. Thanks for looking in.

Almost all leaks I've ever dealt with go Drip, Drip, Drip, forever.

But this one goes Drip, Drip, Drip, Pour, Drip, Drip, Pour, Drip, Drip,
Pour, Drip, Drip, Drip, Drip, PourŠ I hope you can see the pattern
there. The Drips might be 30 seconds apart, and then it Pours for 8 to
12 seconds. Then starts over with the single Drips followed by a Pour.

The question - What causes it to Pour every few minutes? I'm stumped.
If anyone would hazard a guess, or better yet, know why it does that,
I'd surely appreciate. Thank You,

Probably some teeter-totter mechanism that fills and dumps. This occurs
naturally in some rare springs, where the spring will trickle for hours
then suddenly flood and go back to trickle.
