It’s probably NOT a roof leak. It could be a roof leak, but in masonry buildings, especially split face block buildings or brick buildings with "stone" details, we’ve found the roof membrane is often in good condition. So before you agree to a $40K+ at minimum roof replacement, hire a home inspector or give us a call to confirm the leak source.
