Eureka!
I awoke to the sound of 💧 💧 💧!
It was 5.30 am and I’d managed to have a good night’s sleep – til then.
It was raining cats and dogs, making quite a racket, but, as I discovered later, the way the rain came down, straight rather than at an angle, provided the breakthrough we needed.
My husband went to investigate and after rummaging in our upstairs cupboard, he found the answer – the rain was coming in.
I’ve told you about the mysterious water marks on our kitchen ceiling.
We carried out some investigations to rule out potential causes, the last of which was to make a hole in the kitchen ceiling, but this got us no further in finding the culprit.
But my early morning awakening provided the answer – we had a hole in the roof.
Well, I’m not sure what the cause of this is yet – it could be a missing tile or issues with the flashing 😕 – but at least we are nearer to solving the problem, hopefully before it rains again.
Fixing a problem, whether in the house or in your business is sometimes a matter of trial and error – and a little luck.
It’s about looking at the issue, reviewing the evidence you have and finding the solution.
Exactly what I do for some of my clients who know something is wrong but can’t find the cause.
A little investigation, deduction and hey voila.
If you could benefit from my expertise, you know where I am.
