Where roof leaks often begin
Potential sources include damaged roofing, flashing at walls or chimneys, pipe boots, vents, skylight details, valleys, fasteners, roof edges and storm-created openings.
Why the ceiling stain may mislead you
Water can travel along sheathing, rafters and other surfaces before it drops onto insulation or drywall. The visible stain may therefore be several feet away from the actual exterior defect.

☎ 603-633-1712What you can do safely
Protect belongings, catch active drips, photograph damage and note which weather conditions trigger the leak. Avoid entering an attic with electrical hazards and do not climb onto a wet, icy or storm-damaged roof.
Recurring leaks need a root-cause review
Repeated sealant patches can hide a flashing or system-level problem. If the same area keeps leaking, ask whether the surrounding detail should be rebuilt rather than patched again.
