Leaks can travel along roof valleys, between shingles, drip along framing members and flow along ceiling materials. Sometimes it is necessary to climb up into the attic to inspect from under the roof to spot where the real leak is. Interestingly I had a damp inner wall I though was due to a roof leak. I replaced the roof (which was due for replacement anyway) and the damp wall persisted. In the end it turned out to have been due to a pin hole leak in copper plumbing which one day went full spray. | |

The leak in my ceiling is about a 3x4 square and i covered an 8x8 space above the leak on my roof. Unfortunately it didn't help the leak. So i think now I am going to place a tarp from the top edge of the last run of rolled roofing all the way over the crest of the roof. | |
