OAKMONT ROOF PROBLEM

A small number of people have reported a problem with water backing up on heir roofs and causing damage inside the home.

Apparently certain gutters do not have end caps and when heavy water flows out the gutter it gets under the tile and into the house. Once it makes entry their are water marks on garage ceiling, guest bedrooms, and living room.

Those reporting this type of damage say interior walls have to be cut out and replaced as well as ceilings. Mold treatment is also necessary. This can be expensive.

A company trading as "Gutter Solutions" has been used by residents on at least two streets with Oakmonts. They have installed the "end cap" and also put in a 'Downspout Opening" which they claim will prevent water from "backing up." They can be reached at 239-450-1702. Below are pictures of their solution.




Does anyone know if the Divosta Warranty applies to homes with less then ten years ownership?  Let us know and we will pass information along.
