Robert Lamoureux | Where are all these leaks coming from?
Question: We have leaks from the roof where the vents are up in the attic. Looks like during rain and fierce winds, the water has gotten through the stucco and the water is coming through our patio covers and through our kitchen window, and our kitchen light has gotten a stain. — Manny Answer: Manny, the first thing to do is to water test to see where the water is entering, so that you don’t have to guess. Start below the leak and work your way up until you find the source. Someone will need to help you, one on the interior and the other with the hose water testing. Once you figure out what the source is, then reach back out to me. Robert Lamoureux has more than 40 years of experience as a general contractor, with separate licenses in electrical and plumbing contracting. He owns IMS Construction Inc.…
