Water damage, legal issues
Property purchased in June of 2019. A brand new flat rubber roof was installed with labor and materials warranty....
10 days ago a tenant contacted me in regards to a leak. It was quickly determined it was coming from the roof. I immediately contacted installer and he told me he would head out and re seal the the drains. 3 days ago we had a major rain and leak was now worse. There is now damage to dry wall. Roofer was contacted and said it must need to be patched and is showing no urgency to get it done. "needs to patch the roof and wait 2 days for it to warm up and dry up."
I now have water damage to the dry wall and still a leaking roof. From my understanding with the roof under warranty and the damage caused by roof the installer should be responsible for damage.
Does anyone have any experience on how to proceed in order to make sure this handled professionally and appropriately?
Should I involve an attorney?
Who should I contact after the roof is fixed in order to determine if dry wall needs to be replace?
Thank you so much for any help!!
