It failed during testing. Write it up for poor workmanship.



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt

1989, ceiling. I have spoke with the owner. I told him, I would not repair. This is one of two active leaks in the same area of the attic.

Failed during normal use and testing. Unless you did it with a hammer.
