There is a leak in our roof and it damages our walls. We had a company who waterproofed it and it still leaked. Thereafter my late husband waterproofed every year, but it still leaks. My parents flatlet has a sheet roof which is also leaking and there is a spot in our lounge too. This is very frustrating.
