Chimney flashing repair
Step and counter flashing done properly.
What these calls look like
Water travels before it drops. The stain on your ceiling is almost never under the hole.
Water runs along rafters, sheathing seams, and the tops of walls before it finds a place to fall. That's why leak repair starts by tracing the path from the inside out rather than cutting into the ceiling below the stain.
On Ohio Valley housing the usual suspects are short: pipe boots that have split with age, step flashing where a roof meets a wall or a chimney, valley metal that has rusted through, and skylight curbs. Nail pops and old repairs smeared with roof cement are close behind.
Roof cement over a failed flashing is a stopgap, not a fix. It hides the problem for a season and usually leaves a bigger repair behind it, which is why it belongs on an emergency call and not on a finished invoice.

Split pipe boots, step flashing at walls and chimneys, rusted valley metal, and skylight curbs. On pre-war housing, add masonry chimneys with failed crowns.
For anything past an emergency stop, no. Sealant over a failed flashing buys a season and leaves a bigger repair behind it.
