Dakbedekking en waterdichting

Lekkage dakkapel

A leak in a dormer rarely occurs through the roofing material itself and almost always at connections: between the dormer and tiled roof, at penetrations, or at the window frame to side cheek connection.

Common causes

  • Poorly laid or torn lead flashing.
  • Insufficient or no slope on the roof.
  • Clogged downpipes causing water to back up.
  • Penetrations without a sleeve, relying only on sealant.
  • Window frame to side cheek connection coming loose.
