Hello,
I was hoping to get some advice on an idea I have to fix a dead-spot which is causing a chronic roof leak on an old house I am working-on (see attached ROOFPLAN.pdf).
It has an original gable roof, which was later added-on-to with another gabled-roof area in an L-shape on one end.
Later, another gable-roofed addition was built making it a U-shaped end which slopes on 3 sides in a flat area with roll roofing at the bottom. This flat area is causing a chronic roof leak every few months.
I am considering proposing building a room with a raised metal flat roof coming-up from the existing ridges on the three sides and removing the existing roof in that area. I'm thinking I could add this flat section in the center of the front and back sloping roofs and still keep the roof strong enough, but I'm not 100% positive. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
William C
