Why is my roof leaking?

A home owner asked us why his roof started leaking after 12 years. The warranty that came with the shingles used mentioned they would last 15-50 years, so why is the roof leaking so soon?

If the roof is installed incorrectly especially around flashings, it's just a matter of time before you notice water stains to your ceiling and walls. Also very important, many times the source of a leak may be from a clogged gutter and/or downspout, window or siding and most often blamed on the roof. Always call a contractor that specializes in exterior leaks so the job is done correctly the first time before mold has time to develop.
