Poorly installed water heater vent pipe flashing has caused a roof leak, and the roofer's fix (extra caulk) failed after a year, leaving the homeowner with water intrusion and needing a permanent repair.
Roofers provided only a temporary caulk fix instead of properly reinstalling flashing with shingle overlap, and the homeowner can't easily find or verify a permanent repair solution amid rain urgency.
