That is the problem. It has been leaking because too many pilots have been spending their time resting on the work of past generations, not because if cannot get fixed. It may take more work that it would have taken a few years ago, but that is the cost of going to the Lake versus doing your part. I can also guarantee you that fixing the "leak" is a hell of a lot cheaper than tearing down the house, getting new permits, inspections, a builder you can trust, and rebuilding it. No one ever appreciates the cost and headache of new construction until after they have lived it. It is also true that once the last nail is put in and you get a OC, there is invariably something that is not perfect and makes you desire to build a new house again. It is plain moronic.
