				Hi 
I have newly constructed home. It is duplex house. In the head room,  I have kept glass cubes on the head room for the sunlight, but there is leakage on the glass. Tried plastering with water proof but still leakage is happening. Need an assistant from civil engineers. 
Will upload the pic.
Regards,
Deepak

				Where is your site located . Don't cover with the further concrete .  Solve the main issue. It take time to solve be patient. It need analysis. Solution will be simple. First you can grout joints with non shrink grout and test in one place. You can post your mail id
