Hello,

I've got 2 sloped tile roof sections, one of which overhangs the other by 1-2 feet. There is a leak, which someone tried to patch where the lower roof section meets the wall under the over hang but it's very small area to work in. The overhang also appears to be holding water and sagging in the middle.

Your advise on how to handle these issues is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you post a pic if the area you are talking about? A picture is worth a thousand words.

The saging appears to be from an undersized rafter that is carring to much unsupported weight.

There should be track flashing against the wall that is covered by the top roof section. This flashing would come down verticle (behind the wall trim board), make a 90 degree angle, extend under the tile that should be left away from the wall, then have a turn up verticle. This keeps water from being forced back under the tile. There should also be kick out flashing at the fascia board.

You should also have adaquate underlayment such as GAF Weather Watch Leak Barrier or Tamko Metal And Tile underlayment.

I'm not sure if Oldog made a suggestion there but I would consider cutting back the higher over hang to about have of what you have now as the tile are to heavy for that structure. While you have that open you would have access to the lower roof and make whatever changes that are need to made there.
