I have a problems with water leaks, when raining, with a 50+ attached brick. I have had new windows installed, pointing, and a new roof (with gutter and leader) installed.
There have been numerous suggestions including; waterproof concrete paint, and siding.
Should I consult an engineer?
Can someone help?
Mac.

Shucks. I thought this was a parallel discussion to cigarette breaks.
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.
Mac,
Help us out a bit to start, if you would.
Were these leaks present before the roof, gutter, windows and pointing was done......or do you mean the leaks appeared afterward?
The offending water shows itself where?
Is this structural brick or brick veneer?
Type of roof material?
Overhangs on roof or flush?
Valleys on roof or no valleys?
Any dormers or similar?

Does that mean your house is fifty years old and you added on to it with brick, or fifty feet long and you added abrick veneer, or what?
If brick veneer, does it have weep holes at the base?
When did the leaks develope and where do they present themselves?
