Can a New Roof Still Leak?

Many homeowners assume a new roof eliminates the possibility of leaks. However, installation quality is often more important than the age of the roofing materials.

Recently, during a home inspection in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, multiple concerns were identified on a roof that appeared to be only one year old. These included chimney flashing concerns, ridge vent deficiencies, nail pops, and evidence of moisture intrusion.

Even premium roofing materials can fail when flashing systems are not properly installed or existing components are reused during replacement projects.
