The most common places for roofs to leak are at roof penetrations such as pipe jacks also called plumbing vent boots, roof vents, the base of the chimney and skylights.

 Loose step flashing can channel water into a wall and also leftover mounting holes from an antenna or satellite dish that has been removed can also cause leaks.

We recommend having annual inspections but if you do get a roof leak it is good to have on hand plastic sheeting material to protect contents inside your home in addition to containers to collect the water in until the roof can be repaired.
