How do I fill a dip in a commercial roof?

We have a flat rubber roof on a small commercial building. Near the bottom there is a dip or belly that holds standing water and is now leaking and damaging the ceiling inside. Is there a product that can be poured to fill this void and make the area flat? We plan on going over the old rubber with a new rubber roof or a roll roofing but are not sure how to fill the void.

Laundry Room Flooding Problem

When I wash clothes in my laundry room it floods my living room, and my kitchen sinks won't drain. I have had 2 plumbers come out and they dont tell me anything, but your sink is holding water which apparently I already knew! Obviously, it would be hard without being here to look, but what is your take (or guess) on this? What could be the problem?

How can I seal my basement to keep it from leaking?

I have a basement wall that has been leaking for years. It is built out of poured concrete floor and cinderblock walls. It is underground about six feet in depth. Outside it has a concrete skirting 8-12 feet around three sides. We have tried using KILZ on the inside wall several times. I feel that it will have to be resealed from the outside. Looking for options and opinions. The size of the basement is 60 feet wide and 120 feet long.

What are Those Stains on my Basement Walls?

When I purchased my Baton Rouge home last year - all the walls were covered with fresh paint. This year - however - brown stains have appeared on my basement walls. The stains seem to come from small amounts of water that are seeping through pockmarks in the walls. I've never seen this before and I don't know what to do about it. Can you help?

How do you leakproof a new patio door?

My new patio door leaks. It has been sealed with silicone but it still leaks underneath. We put new laminate floors in and some of it has been ruined by water damage that we thought had been fixed. The contractor never put a sealer under the door when he installed it. Needless to say he isn't our contractor anymore but the damage has already been done.

Identifying the Cause of Siding Damage

I've noticed that the paint on my wood siding is starting to crack and peel even though I just painted it within the last year or two. What could be causing this problem? Could it be the paint job or a bigger issue involving the siding? I live in Jacksonville, FL.

Setting Priorities When Replacing Windows

We're thinking about replacing windows in our home near Albany, Georgia and have been surprised by how expensive they can be, even at home improvement warehouses. If we decide against replacing all of the windows in our house, how can we prioritize which to replace and which to leave?
