Most leaks in Dallas homes start at flashing around vents or chimneys. Heat from our humid subtropical summers makes old sealant crack and pull away. We cut out the bad area, install new step flashing with matching metal, then bed it in high-temp caulk rated for 200 degree days. Cheap crews skip the metal and just slap tar on top. That patch fails the first time a hard rain hits.
Dallas code requires a permit for any roof work that touches more than 25 percent of the surface. We pull the permit the same morning we start. In older stock like East Dallas bungalows the deck is often 1x6 pine that rots from the underside. We pull the bad boards, sister in new treated lumber, then lay 30-pound felt before the shingles go back down.
After a leak we always check the attic insulation for wet spots. Water that sits in fiberglass holds moisture for weeks in our mild winters and grows mold. We remove the wet batts, let the joists dry, then blow in fresh cellulose to the same R-value. This step keeps the repair from turning into an indoor air problem later.
