check your addition's roofing screws w/ rubber washers
Had a leak that destroyed frame, insulation and sheathing above window in addition. Traced leak to roof and the entire addition roof was rotted. Traced leak to roofing screws. Funny enough all the flashing seams were sealed tightly and in excellent shape as I had sealed with liquid rubber 3 years ago. after replacing 2/3 of the roof & window frame with new 2x4's, new 7/16 OSB, new insulation & double tar paper, I used new roofing screws and sealed them with polyurethane caulk. have to finish rest of roof tomorrow as last sunny day of weather forecast. will keep an eye on these screws on a yearly basis as I don't wanna work this hard again. walk on your addition roof checking for soft spots and check screws for looseness every spring time as part of your regular maintenance to avoid big headache.

Hey troyster!
Great hearing from you, although sorry to hear about all the damage and replacement work.
Amazing what kind of damage water can do huh, all from a screw penetration.
Other than this, hope all is well with you and your family.
