We were fortunate in our 1890's built Victoria, that when the pipes rusted out, it was surprisingly the horizontal pipes in the basement ... on the top, so we only had to search above the pipe to find the source of the leak. What I enjoyed more in this story is the need for people who look at the big picture, versus most contractors who focus on their specialty whether plumbing, roofing or plaster. Having run a handyman business for almost 10 years, I've developed this skill through 100s of hours of research and writing many articles (http://www.HomeTips4Women.com) ... and agree that your consultants are an invaluable resource for your business and clients.

Being from the roofing industry we both know the investigations of unique situations and sharing it can help educate others. Unfortunately, the tile roof can last 100 years so the "paid" expert didn't seek out all the possiblities. Great Job Rich!!!
