What to do if Your Roof Vents Leak During the Rain

A roof vent that leaks in the rain isn’t something you want to put off until the next sunny weekend. If you need a fast fix, you can tarp over the area, but this is temporary at best and interferes with the ventilation balance in your attic. The good news? All of the most common causes, including cracked flashing, sealant, or nearby shingles, are relatively easy and inexpensive to fix. Sometimes the vent itself has to be replaced completely.
