I ma in Phoenix AZ, and we got a whopping 3-4 inches of rain the past couple of weeks, people go nuts around here when it does rain.
I am in the process of remodeling the master bath and hada pretty good leak in this bathroom, luckily no tile in the floor yet so not any damage.
Water was running down sheetrock and dripping out of 2 can lights in line of each other in a sloped ceiling.
The house is a 95 track home with conrete tile roof. I was able to get up in the attic to see where it was coming from, my first thought was venting for gas heat pump. Fairly new home I would think the flashing around these vents is the typical first place to look for. No noticeable water there.
I didnt really see any water seeping in from OSB joints either. Meaning there is a rip i nthe tar paper?? THis happened during a short stint of rain in these two weeks, it hasent leaked since...not a drop.
So I am looking for advise on what to do. Tomorrow I plan to have a friend use a couple of garden hoses to spray the area on the roof while I am in the attic to see where it could be coming from. Any ideas to find the location. I would like to investigate before having a roofer come out.
thanks
