Hi all
Looking for some advice. The front garage in our house was converted to a bedroom about 10 years ago. The flat roof on the room was presumably done at the same time with felt roofing and grits topping. A leak has now started in the corner where the rain water from the main roof lands on flat roof. I have checked the flat roof today and their is a wide crack in the felt at the corner with the vertical face. In general the grit has been lost all along the edges with many cracks and couple of blisters. The rest of the roof appears to be in good condition. Attached are some photos showing failed corner and general condition.
Can someone please recommend a quick good repair technique for the already failed corner(first two photos). Also, for the long term, is the roof can be generally repaired to give a few years life or I need to start thinking about replacing it.
Best regards.
