DMI were called to a home that had historically had problems with a particular part of their flat roof.  Over time, it had leaked water into the interior of their house and that had led them to having it replaced. Unfortunately, the initial repair had been below par and so had been redone.  Although this was some time ago, and there were no signs of problems to the naked eye, the owner was curious to [...]
