Here are the basics of what you need to know about roof coverings:

Roofs fail where they start, stop, and change direction. This means penetrations through roofs such as chimneys, skylights, valleys, and roof/wall junctures are very common problem areas.

Localized leaks are not necessarily a chronic problem. If a roof is leaking at one place, such as a chimney, it is possible that only a localized flashing repair is needed and not a complete roof replacement. However, this would need to be investigated further.

Leakage in the “field” of the roof is a bad sign. Such leakage cannot be associated with a specific penetration through the roof. This indicates incorrect installation and often requires a complete roof replacement to repair.
