Roof test
I had an AC unit put on the house in addition to another already there. The
roofing guy did a nice job, and we said, "I guess we'll have to wait until it rains to see how good it was." Well, it hasn't rained here for a good while. The other day, it rained a bit, and we got a little drip inside, but was unsure where it came from, as it only rained a little. I got the brainfart of going up on the roof and spraying water. But I figured I should either make it a mist, or shoot it straight up and let it come straight down just like rain actually does. Am I on the right heading? What's a good way to test with just a hose?

Spread a film of water from the hose around the suspect
flashing or joint. Post a video making the water fall like rain on you tube peaple will love it. "SteveB" toquerville,utah@zionvistas wrote in message ...

Theodore Roosevelt 1891 Why are you waiting to call the AC people or a competent roofer? You have a new roof leak that needs to be fixed. Most pro roofers are really good at spotting trouble spots, so that should be your best bet. Good luck. Joe |
