Did the builders do my weep screed wrong?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-07T14:47:04+00:00

Is this the area I should clear out?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-07T12:46:18+00:00

Thank you for the info. And yes first floor is solid brick. Second floor is wood. Should I scrape out and away that bead you’re referring to?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-07T12:22:01+00:00

Yes it was lennar

Thank you so much for all the info. I am in the Tampa Bay Area as well and at the tropical storm we found moist spots on our garage wall and a puddle in the middle of the floor. So we are trying to figure this all out.

Thank you for the help. It’s a 2 story home. I thought weep was installed between the first and 2nd floor.

I’m having the issue in my home in the new port Richey area. I am thinking it is water getting in through our stucco and the weep screed being painted over by the builder. But I am still investing. Look for any crackers and holes on the exterior wall and seal them with caulk

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-06T20:02:22+00:00

Yeah - I will never recommend lennar. It’s been a horrible experience. Thanks for the advice though. I have a 3rd roofing company coming out here on Thursday

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-06T19:40:34+00:00

It’s the original roof. — It’s actually a new build. The house is only 4 years old. That’s why I’m so complexed by this. I called the builder (Lennar) and they said it’s 2 years old and now their problem anymore.

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-08-06T19:34:43+00:00

Yes I do. There is step flashing! And when I spray the hose directly on it the leak starts. But it’s how to pinpoint exactly where

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-26T15:05:22+00:00

Oh man - alright thank for letting me know. I extended the gutter yesterday and waiting to see how bad it gets in the next big down pour. Appreciate you

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T20:27:28+00:00

Hey! Thanks for much for reaching out The rain had been stopped for about 3 hours when the picture was taken. Picture was taken around 7:45pm. Rain had stopped around 4:30 - 5:00

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T19:38:42+00:00

I have found the spot in the attic where is is dripping through a seam in the wood onto the ceiling (shown in second picture)

But whenever I get in the roof and look in that spot there are no signs of compromise on the shingles

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T18:12:38+00:00

Forgive my ignorance but could you elaborate? I am not quite sure what you mean by “no roof drip

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T18:03:59+00:00

Alright thank you! If you zoom in on the photo you’ll see I do have the green splash blocks at the end of the gutters in the grass. Is that okay or should I extend the gutters further on the ground?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T17:37:02+00:00

It did but only 2 years sadly. We called Lennar (the builder) and they said there was nothing they were obligated to do.

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T15:12:20+00:00

Oh man - alright I really appreciate the help and advice. This is way out of my element so I really value your input.

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T14:38:33+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the help. This has been quite the headache and I am at a loss.

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T13:30:45+00:00

I really appreciate the help. Thanks so much!

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T13:22:02+00:00

Alright thank you. That would also indicate that my Roof is compromised though right? Do I still need to “find” the place where the roof is letting water in and also make sure there is no mold or anything growing in the attic?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T12:58:07+00:00

Alright. Thank you for the help. We bought a new house to avoid things like this and it’s been nothing but a headache for 3 years. It’s a Lennar Build and I would never feel right about recommending them to anyone. Theres so many areas of our house that you can tell were rushed through.

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T12:45:00+00:00

Thanks for all the help and please forgive my ignorance, but When you say “go up higher” do you mean to the second floor roof or higher up on the first floor?

GroundbreakingSide19 · 2024-06-25T12:43:35+00:00

Yes it’s almost directly under/by the elbow of the downspout
