Leaking flat roof
Yes, yes. I know. Flat roofs are the spawn of Satan, and the nearest
thing to a solution is to rip the whole thing off and start again. However, in the real world, the problem isn't really bad enough to justify spending that much money. I have a fairly modern (~2000) garage built back into the hillside. The solid concrete roof slopes back towards a corner where it drains into a downpipe that ends up in the public drains. There is a lot of water coming through the roof around the outside of the downpipe. The concrete is covered in a white(ish) material like rubber, plastic, or lino, and this is then covered in something like carpet underlay, with stone chipping on top. What would the panel recommend as a suitable gunge to apply (either with a brush, or a sealant gun) over the joints in an attempt to seal them? Also, should I use expanding foam to fill the gap between the downpipe and the concrete (from below) ? (Final complication: The garage is in Germany, so the construction and/or materials may well be unusual for the UK). |
