Over The Rooftop....

Here is a view rarely seen by residents, the rooftop of a condo building. This is where the AC condensers for every unit are located  and the point of entry for roof leaks. Since these roofs are typically flat, most depend on drainage holes leading to drain spouts to shed rainwater. Sometimes these holes get clogged with leaves and debris resulting in standing water. When this happens, even the smallest holes in the roofing membrane can lead to leaks. That's what happened recently.

While the top floor may have the best view, when the roof leaks the first stop is ....the penthouse.

Just another reason it's important to have someone check your condo regularly.
