Can a leak be fixed without replacing the roof?

Often yes. Many leaks come from one failed part, like a pipe boot or flashing.

Why does my roof only leak in heavy rain?

Wind-driven rain can push water under shingles or flashing that holds up fine in light rain.

A roof leak rarely shows up right where the water gets in. Water can run along rafters and decking before it stains a ceiling.

Cracked pipe boots, failed flashing at walls and chimneys, missing shingles, worn valleys, and clogged gutters that back water under the roof edge.

Put a bucket under the drip, move belongings, and if a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people away from it. See roof leak: what to do first.

In a humid climate, wet decking and insulation can grow mold and rot quickly. The sooner a leak is fixed, the smaller the repair.
