Detecting Roof Leaks Before They Escalate
Acting fast on roof leaks protects your property and wallet—here’s how.
How to Spot a Roof Leak
Knowing the symptoms of a roof leak can help you avoid serious repairs. Watch for these issues:
- Brown Spots on Walls: Look for discoloration on interior surfaces, which could signal a roof issue.
- Water Inside During Rain: Obvious leaks, especially during or after heavy rain, indicate a problem.
- Cracked Roofing Material: Inspect for worn-out shingles that may let moisture in.
- Mold or Mildew: Mold and mildew thrive where moisture enters through leaks.
- Granules in Gutters: Excess granules from shingles in your gutters may indicate wear and tear.
