I was just kidding, Oldog. And I'm old enough that I feel the same way. No problems. I am in the process of getting a few quotes from local contractors. Hey can anyone advise on what kind of contractor would remove and reinstall insulation in the attic, where the roof has leaked? Would a...

So, what are you saying, OldDog? Do you want to fix my roof?

Just to look at the tiles, they don't appear to be cracked or anything. The roof was sealed and painted, about 5 years ago, so there has been ongoing maintenance. I'm not sure why all the problems on my side of the roof, when the adjacent duplex says he is having none.

Thanks for your reply. As I said in my first post back in March, I've inherited this home and I know nothing about tile roofs. I'll certainly look into reclaiming some of the existing tiles then. One of my big concerns is the adjacent duplex and any possible effects my roof repairs may have...

Well, after a significant amount of investigation, I've decided the source of leaks is not the air conditioner. The 32 year old tile roof is the problem. It has to be replaced. My next dilema is the fact that the home is a duplex. The adjoining home owner says his roof is not leaking and does...

Wow! Thank you all so very much for your input. To answer some of your most recent questions: The roof is sloped but I can't tell you how it was sealed. There are vents in the roof, including that of the bath fan; and older looking soffit vents are found around the outside perimeter of both...

Thanks for your responses. I've uploaded some pix that help you see that leaks are mostly in areas where ceiling and wall meet, with the exception of leaking around vent in foyer. No photos of outside are possible at this time. I don't know what an evaporator tray and an overflow pipe is, but...

Only a year ago, I inherited 1/2 of a duplex in Florida. Both my unit and that of my neighbor has a clay tiled roof. This is a single-story ranch, 2-bedroom, two bath home, with a small attic above the entire unit. About six months ago, water stains started to appear in almost every room of...
