Yesterdays inspection.
Roof discharging onto bumpout. I didn’t like the way this looked so I checked inside by removing the vapor barrier and pulling out the insulation.
Buyer is ready to walk. I suggested having a roofer come out and maybe suggest a fix.
Bad design as the water just blasts onto the vinyl.
2006 home.
Maybe needs a Jiminy Cricket? :mrgreen:

Extend the roof to the wall return, flash accordingly and build a cricket to get the water out of the corner.
A kick out diverter and gutter may not work with heavy rains and ice.

I didn’t think of extending the wall.
Might be easy, wouldn’t be cheap.

Wait a minute, you mean just the roof area that hits into the bump out?
If that’s what you mean I think I will use that.

Is this a new build?
Are they planning on installing gutters on the house?

Home built 2006.
Not enough room to install a gutter between the roof and house wall. Although if you could the problem would remain.
Guy and his wife like the location and therefore like the home. 3 car garage and he has a boat.
Marcel is right, run the roof to the wall and install a saddle/ cricket.

I agree that a gutter wouldn’t work between the roof and the bump out and I would agree with Marcel’s solution, it just looks like they don’t have gutters installed anywhere on the house.
Maybe I have to look closer at the pics.

No, no gutters. Negative grade from sidewalk to garage, whole slab heaved and cracked. I did suggest gutters. House has a sump basket, dry as a bone?
