Recognize the Early Signs of a Leak

Roof leaks can quickly cause significant damage in your home if left unaddressed, but being aware of early indicators, like brown staining on ceilings or walls, could save you from more extensive and expensive repairs down the line.

For your own safety and to quickly locate the source of a leak, use a flashlight to search the attic with your friend for wet spots or marks that indicate water seepage. If water has entered through sheathing then roof replacement may be required.

Left unattended, this problem will escalate, potentially leading to structural rot, water stains, mold growth and ceiling damage in addition to electrical issues that lead to high energy bills due to insulation loss and other factors.

If water stains appear on the ceiling or walls or you detect a musty scent inside, these could be signs of roof leakage.
