 |
|
It appears that when it rains (in a certain direction), rainwater runs down the outside of the soil stack from the roof and collects between the soil pipe enclosure and the ceiling creating a large ish wet patch.
I believe that the soil stack entrance on the roof hasn't been finished properly and allows for water ingress.
We have an NHBC <1y cert.
Any ideas how to fix it? |

Thanks for the replies.
Yes the house is less than 1 year old, I will therefore get the builder to mend it.  |

some ammo for you .  have a look @ the pipe thru the roof ........above the lead slate should be a tapered collar........this should be GLUED onto the pipe not just sitting round pipe (unless it`s a black rubber one  ) cuz water will creep down and run down pipe . Have a google on Marley or Hunter plastcs for illustrations |
