I think I have a Roof Leak! HELP!!!

[Justin Carter]

Hello BP Community!

One of my tenants just sent me a txt letting me know that water is leaking from the ceiling. She’s in the top unit and so I’m pretty sure the leak is related to the roof.

When I purchased the home back in January I had an inspection conducted on the property and the inspector noted that there was nothing “alarming” about the roof and that everything looked okay from what he could see.

The house has a flat roof. Any recommendations on what I should do? I definitely don’t want to replace the entire roof right now. Maybe just one section needs to be repaired? Also, any idea how much flat roof repairs cost in the Chicagoland area?
