Why it matters
Past leaks may indicate that the roof or flashing previously allowed moisture to enter. While no active leaks were found, continued monitoring is recommended to ensure the issue does not recur.
How common is it?
Found in 9% of the homes HomeCloud evaluated, Sep 2025 to Oct 2026.
Counted by the finding's name on HomeCloud reports, so the true number can be a little higher.
