We've had numerous days of rain in Sydney over the last couple weeks, however it's been relatively dry today. The question I have is with regards to the garage side wall. It was obviously wet during the down pour, however it's dried up now But for some reason I've got a large water stain on the brickwork (see pik). No fisable water leaks on the insed of the garage and under the sheeting. Scratching my head as to what it could be. The side capping does have a slight bend to the middle of it (see pik) Any ideas or help would be great Cheers Maz Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Maz Looks like the downpipe isn't connected yet and my guess is the water is running back along the capping to a low spot then down the wall. But that is a really strange detail. Trying to figure out why they have designed the gutter/flashing detail that way. It's as though the bricks have finished a couple of courses low and they have had to cover the gap with the colorbond capping. Hard to tell Simeon G'day Simeon With regards to the guttering, I'm on zero boundary so there was no choice with a trading overhanging gutter system, unless the framing was modified prior to gutter fittment and unfortunately we didn't quite get to achieve that until it was too late lol thanks for clarifying we don't do any zero lot work so it is a detail I haven't seen. Great to hear it was intentional!
