Had a 30'x30' all metal garage built less than a year ago, and now the
roof leaks. Leaks in at least 8 areas. Buildings less than a year
old. Called the contractor, but his subcontractor forman and crew
have now disappeared. During previous heavy rains last summer, the
roof didn't leak anywhere. Now when it's cold and windy, it's leaking
very badly.
While deciding on legal action to be taken against contractor, I'm
once again doing research on metal building roof construction methods.
Can anyone tell me common causes as to why this new roof would leak
all of a sudden? No one's walked on it. It has three or four panel
skylights. Insulation roof material lying underneath metal,
prohibits visual inspection of inside roof panel seams. Any
suggestions for methods used to correct new metal roof leaks? Any
assistance will help me towards a positive solution to problem.
Thanks in advance..
why would new metal panel roof leak?
what can be done to stop leak problem?
