Water Leaking From Roof Soffit

My landlord just installed that aluminum soffit.

Water leaking from roof soffit.

Athe water dripping from your soffit is a definite warning sign. To install a gutter apron slide the apron over the roof deck just beneath the shingles and fit the angled bottom of the apron over the gutters. We didn t install the roof the problem was the facia board was hung too high and the decking was lower than the facia board. In some cases the soffit might be the point of entry for water seeping into your attic instead of the roof s surface.

If the soffits do not have air. So when the drip edge was on it made a flat spot. And it doesn t stop there. If the gutter is clogged some of that water will back up on the roof soaking it.

Is this a problem. The repair means working off a ladder or scaffold to remove several courses of tiles and tile lath cut back rotten. This will improve ventilation beneath the roof and reduce moisture. Above it is solid plywood.

Gutters are supposed to direct water away from your roof and into the ground. This picture shows the water dripping through but when it rains harder sometimes there s more. If the soffits do not have air vents in them add some. This is at the valley of an l shaped gabled roof.

I would check for flat spots in the shingles on. Then use roofing nails to nail the gutter apron into place. The leaks happened when warm weather melted snow on the roof. The gutter apron prevents water from ever reaching the soffit by leading water straight into the gutters.

Some of the water may leak behind the gutters down towards the soffit and the fascia. Check for signs of roof leaks. This allowed water to pool in a good rain storm and penetrate through the shingle seams and drip through the soffit. In the photo you can still see signs of an ice dam.

Water from leaks can run down the rafters and cause the soffit to remain damp. Water from leaks can run down the rafters and cause the soffit to remain damp. An ice dam occurs when snow melts and the water freezes when it hits the colder edges of your roof. Roof leaks will not always be apparent on the ceiling directly below the leaky spots.

If you determine water is leaking through the soffit you must take specific steps to stop the leaks and keep your attic dry. Roof leaks will not always be apparent on the ceiling directly below the leaky spots. The soffit that meets the roof is one of the toughest areas to waterproof. When it rains water drips through the soffit and along the inside face of the fascia.

This roof leaks during the snowy part of winter and during storms in the summer certainly due to poor flashing.
