I think we're too quick to call something 'common sense' when it's really just learned experience.

Spent over 4 hours trying to figure out why a simple roof leak kept coming back, only to find out the previous owner used the wrong kind of sealant for our local freeze-thaw cycles. Has anyone else had a 'basic' fix turn into a huge headache because of a small, hidden detail?

Four hours is nothing. My neighbor spent three weekends chasing a leak around his porch before finding a squirrel had stashed acorns in the soffit, blocking the drainage path. What was the specific sealant they used that failed in your climate?

Sounds like a normal sealant failure to me.

Our old house had that happen where two different materials met.
