        "text": "While both involve water entering your home, a roof leak specifically originates from the roof system, including shingles, flashing, or penetrations like vents and chimneys. Exterior wall water intrusion refers to water entering through walls, typically due to issues with siding, windows, doors, or foundation cracks. Both require different diagnostic approaches and repair methods, though sometimes wall intrusion can be a secondary effect of a roof issue.",
