They probably fucked up the flashing. Roofers and siders fuck up all the time. If it’s truly an old leak that’s been fixed, you have nothing to worry about. Go up there and observe during the next strong rain. Edit: grab a house key or a screwdriver, stick into the wood. Does it penetrate really easy? Then you’re fucked. Else you’re fine, as long as the leak isn’t active.
I mean I could just spray a hose up there, couldn't I?
Yes, but it’d help if someone else observed and recorded to really nail down what’s happening.
I had water penetrating the house after the siders fucked up. Took opening the ceiling and recording the penetration to really understand what the idiots did wrong.
