Roof leaks are the most common and most direct: water penetrating a damaged or deteriorated roof system enters the attic at the point of failure and spreads from there. The exact failure point may be a few missing or damaged shingles, failed flashing at a chimney, pipe boot, or ridge cap, ice dam formation at the eaves during winter, or simply the accumulated deterioration of an aging roof system reaching the end of its service life.
