Does Your Roof Leak?

One of the items that we look for during Home Inspections in Jacksonville is signs of water intrusion. At this Jacksonville home I noticed a large section wall sheathing that had wood decay. This was an ongoing problem. The Flashing where the wall and roof intersected was bad and that is what caused the problem.

To make the necessary repairs involved removing the stucco on the exterior and replacing the damaged wall sheathing. Some of the shingles also had to be removed to remove and properly install a new flashing. This repair cost in excess of $8000!

When I went back to do the re-inspection of repairs, you won’t believe what I saw. To see what I found check out this post “Does Your Roof Leak? Re-visited”. You will be shocked!!!
