I stay at the highest floor in a flat, n during heavy rain, my room ceiling will leak :(.. how to solve it?

Question

i have bought a cement to patch up the part that on the ceiling leaks, but the water still can go through the cement!! should i go up to the roof top to put cement..as thick as possible..does it works?

Answer 1

Where you se the water leaking from the ceiling does not neccessarily mean that is where it is leaking on the roof...Water will travel down raFTERs, ceiling joists  etc. 10 to 50 fet from where the leak may be..best bet is when it rains again is crawl up in the attic with a flashlight and see where the actual leak is..

Answer 2

Tell the landlord!
