Question
Thank u sir.actually there is no attic in my house but there is a mounty.the roof of the mounty gets drenched every time it rains and water seeps inside the storage area.the whole wall gets drenchd everytime it rains.i got the roof repaired just 6-7 months back.they seald the edges with a mix of cement and sand but after 2-3 days of incessant rain it leaked again.should i get the surface locking of bricks on the mounty roof done?

Answer
Annabellchris,  I'm sorry I have absolutely no idea what a mounty is other than a member of RCMP.  I cannot envision a roofing material that uses cement and sand as a waterproofing material.  Concrete is notoriously porous and is never considered water proof.

My original concept holds.  To find the leak, work when everything is dry.  The leak has to have a point of origin.  Start flooding at the lowest point of the roof.  Once you can see moisture, you know the leak is from there up.

I wish I had a better idea of the construction method that you are trying to describe.  I have no idea from your description.
