Roof Leak

[Brad Smith]

Tore out the ceiling last Sunday and confirmed where the roof is leaking. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to repair it.  Looks like the "right" way is to tear everything out and start over but I'm thinking about taking the easy way out, clean it up and coat it with a product I found at the local lumber yard.

Went to Lowes first and the guy I spoke with said he had the same problem of pitched roof tied in to flat roof and it was always leaking.  Great!

Yes flat roof issues...  I haven't had a good experience with one yet.  If the budget can afford it, I'd get a professional opinion.  Depending on what you plan to do with the home, an inspector may see the issue and/or the cheap repair.  My 2 cents.
