We have had bowls and tarps on our kitchen floor for 5 weeks now. Roof guy says it’s not a roofing problem, that it was an issue with the (pre-existing) passive solar pool heating system. So we had a different company reinstall the system a month ago. It rained that night and we had water on the floor in the morning. SO spent a good chunk of this morning on the roof with a garden hose while I waited inside for the dripping to start — so we have gone so far as to *pay* for the water that is possibly ruining our roof.
We’ve lived here 7 months — there’s no way the previous owners did not have this problem. There’s no way this roof didn’t leak in that amazing July 2015 storm, considering it leaked on us for the first time in September in much less rain. The trick is, the ceiling is planked, not plastered or drywalled — so it’s very easy to just wipe the dirty water off the painted planks and no one is the wiser.
