Common causes
- Original lead well past its 60-year service life
- Cement haunching cracked and letting water track behind
- Soakers missing or undersized for the tile profile
- Mortar pointing on the stack itself perished
How we fix it
- Strip the old lead and dress in fresh code-rated lead
- Rebuild soakers and step flashings properly into the courses
- Re-point the stack while the scaffold is up
- Photograph each layer so the work is documented
