roof leaks
Shingles need replacing
Roof leaks are places where water penetrates a building's roof covering and enters the structure below.
The term covers both the physical breaches—damaged shingles, failed flashing, cracked seals—and the resulting water intrusion: We've got roof leaks in the attic whenever it rains.
Finding the source often proves difficult, since water can travel along rafters before dripping through a ceiling.
