Allow me to share you the common sources of leaks & respective approaches we do for concrete firewalls:

1. Rotting gutters that rest on firewalls.
Solution:
A. Eliminate them by redesigning the roof to not relieve rain on the firewall side.
B. If A isn't possible, use 304Stainless gutters w/ TIG-welded, leak-tested. Avoid using Sealants & rivets on joints as they'll just be temporary relief.

2. Poor roof-wall joint flashings.
Solution:
A. Let the roof go over the top of the firewall, if possible.
B. Use 304SS TIG-welded seamless inverted J-shaped capping to cover the top exposed area of the firewall. Again, overlapping sheets w/ sealant won't give you permanent relief.

3. Waterproofing failure on the concrete firewall itself.
Concrete cracks with exposure to the elements, temp change & all. That's just how it is.
Cementitious, bituminous or elastomeric coatings do work but they'd need periodic re-stripping & reapplication every few years after. You won't want the recurring hassle & expense. They are short-term solutions like plaster on a wound that never heals.
Eliminate periodic maintenance. Do it right once....the 1st time is always ideal.
Solution:
Here's what we do(I wonder why I've yet to see anyone doing this).....Ask the neighbor where the wall divides permission for work access. Cover the exposed side of the firewall & cap the top entirely. Not w/ coatings but w/ Long-span Prepainted Roofing profile. With how substandard our construction materials have become, we normally go for 0.60mm thickness for metal roof profiles. Unlike condoms, thicker is better here.[emoji4]
A bit of overkill & an ounce of OCD prevention goes a looooong way.

And for those yet to build there homes or whatever, avoid this problem....Tell your designer you are allergic to Firewalls & Concrete Slab Roofs....That's another topic.

Hope this helps, sir. You need not a building contractor, but a good tinsmith (or 'stainless-smith' to be literal) who can custom shape & weld solutions. Best of luck!

Solution dyn balutan mo nalang ng pre painted GI plain or mga rib type roofing kabit vertically just to cover firewall mo. Kasi pag structural problem na ng building me problema kahit anung waterproofing mo paulit ulit lang yan and malaki din magagastos mo.

Avoid plain sheets, the joints will be a problem. The waves, an eyesore.

Really depends on treatment & execution. A homier option would be vinyl sidings. An unhomey one, aluminum cladding.[emoji4]

just a suggestion, try mo yung Castle waterproofing available sa Ace hardware. i had a problem with my firewall (don't know if we have the same concern) small cracks led to weeping during heavy rain. but more water seepage is coming from the joint between the firewall and the roof. i had the tegula roof and the capping in between the joints cracked as well. we applied the castle waterproofing on the cracks and it solved the problem. its applied like your normal paint 2 coats. i have to re do it every 3 years for maintenance. a bit pricey but it works. cracks are normal on concrete it will come out after 2 years or sooner.

Supply, soil or rain spouts? Common on 'industrial' influenced homes. Some even on commercial applications. Was awed by how they converted the old Nabisco factory into Chelsea Market (pic below...good lobster.[emoji4]).
As advocates of low/easy maintenance construction, the thrust is to try avoiding roof gutters where possible....w/ the catchment on the ground instead of up the roof. No unsightly spouts, nothing to spend on & no leaks to repair.
On bath supply lines, embed em on the outer side of walls for easier repair access in leak cases. One doesn't need to go chipping tiles this way.
