Do You have a leak

How to Spot a Roof Leak

Although it isn’t always easy to tell that you have a roof leak, there are some signs your roof might be leaking water. For example, if the ceiling of a room without an attic is stained with black lines or little dots falling from above can indicate a problem. If there are water stains on the walls but no visible leaks around the windows and doors, this could also be indicative of an issue. You may also notice buckling floors or paint beginning to peel off walls in your attic.

Causes of Roof Leaks

There are many things that can potentially cause roof leaks. Why should you know this? Well, you want to be proactive about mitigating these issues before they get worse. Broken shingles, for example, are common causes of roof leaks because the broken section allows water to get into your home’s attic or interior spaces. Many times, however, there is nothing wrong with your shingles; it may simply be old age and wear-and-tear causing them to break down rather than become damaged.

How a Roof Leak Can

Damage Your Home

Some roof leaks are more serious than others.

A leak could present itself in different forms such as damp ceiling tiles or ceilings stained by black mold. If water damage occurs throughout your house it might be time to consider needing a whole new roof. While many homeowners try to fix the problem themselves by adding insulation or using a dehumidifier, it’s important to note that if water damage has already occurred, this will likely continue until your roof is entirely replaced.
