One of the things our surveyor discovered back in March 2019 was a leak in or around the potable-water tank. There was always a pool of water on the roof of the tank. But where was it coming from – and what needed to be done to stop it? We paid experts to have a look – but no solutions were forthcoming.
As you can see, rust was becoming a serious problem. The cross-members which provide structural support wouldn’t last much longer if we didn’t find the source of the leak. The big question was whether that pool of water was limited to the one area where the wooden floor could be easily removed – or did it extend the full width and length of the bow?
There was only one way to find out – remove everything that was stored in the garage, remove the heavy shelving units, and then remove the floor.
