    Make sure your "leak" isn't really just an ice problem that can easily be taken care of by you in the next 45 minutes, to include labor, Home Depot Run, and clean up.

    If it's due to ice, go to Lowes (they have the big bags and it's much cheaper than what Depot has) and get Calcium Caltrate (I believe that's the name...it's not salt, it's white, and it's safe for roofs).

    Tell us more about the leak so we can give you the right pointers.

    It is an ice issue. One part of the roof wasn't done correctly and needs to be redone. There is a small part of the roof that should have been done with rubber because the slope was too shallow. The ice built up and is now leaking down a wall into the bathroom.

    Go buy the 50lb bag of calcium caltrate and a roof rake. Rake the roof, pour some of the calcium caltrate on it, and waych that problem disappear for the time being.
    I'm not handy in the least, and I got my ice problem under control in about 2 two hour sessions.
