Hi. Ever since the storms, my kitchen wall has had water dripping when raining from the corner where it joins to the beam that was put in for the kitchen extension.
The kitchen had a new membrane roof put on about 2 years ago so we don't think it's the roof and there's nothing above so we assume it must be coming in from outside not a plumbing leak.
Any clue where we start in trying to find our what's causing it. We cut a hole in the plasterboard enclosing the beam but couldn't really see much.
Any ideas so gratefully recieved!
Emma The leak comes from the bottom corner of the beam
I think the roofers did a good/decent job generally with the roof replacement this september however yesterday when I was winterizing the junction of the new roof skirting and the clapboards I discovered this. Six nails visible here I am not seeing this elsewhere.... and this area does not seem to be covered with the 3D shingles either....
Should I go back to the roofer?
Thank you!
(PS those are my actions to fill junction cracks w silicon and foam. I next plan on trimming and painting that intersection. )

I am getting estimates to replace a section of fascia, aluminum wrap and new gutters. No special order materials and no materials pre-delivered. One company has a very detailed quote and was fast to respond, but wants 50% down to schedule the job. The others want payment in full upon completion of the job. To me 50 % down raises a red flag. What do you think ? Would appreciate any input.
