Leaks, flashing and ventilation
Many leaks don't start in the middle of the roof. They start where something passes through it or meets it:
- Rubber pipe boots around plumbing vents, which crack as they age
- Flashing at chimneys, skylights and walls that lifts or rusts
- Poor attic ventilation, which traps heat and moisture and wears shingles out faster from underneath
Fixing the real source is what stops the leak coming back. See our roof repair page.

The pattern here is hail in spring and wind in summer. Older three-tab shingles on Fairview Heights' 1970s and 80s homes are the most likely to fail after either.
