Detecting Roof Leaks Before They Escalate
Roof leaks may seem minor at first, but they can quickly escalate into costly repairs. Ignoring leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and compromised insulation. Identifying leaks early helps protect your property and saves you money in the long run.
Signs of a Roof Leak
Knowing the symptoms of a roof leak can help you avoid serious repairs. Watch for these issues:
- Ceiling Stains: Noticeable water stains may indicate a roof leak that requires immediate attention.
- Water Inside During Rain: If you see water dripping indoors during a storm, it’s time to investigate.
- Shingle Wear and Tear: Cracked, curled, or missing shingles can allow water to seep through.
- Musty Odors: Unpleasant odors and visible mold can indicate a hidden roof issue.
- Granules in Gutters: Shingles shedding granules is a warning sign of aging or damage.
