Rentals and Older Homes Near Sam Houston State

The neighborhoods around Sam Houston State are full of houses that have been rented to students for years. That brings a particular roof pattern. Tenants often don't notice a slow leak, or don't mention it until a ceiling stain has spread or a drip lands in a closet. By then the decking and insulation may have been wet for a while. Owners who manage several houses tend to find out about roof problems all at once, after a big storm. What you see as a landlord is usually a tenant's text with a photo of a stain. What it usually means is a leak at a pipe boot, flashing or a worn section that's been going for longer than it looks.
