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.
What to Watch for: Roof Leak Symptoms
Knowing the symptoms of a roof leak can help you avoid serious repairs. Watch for these issues:
- Brown Spots on Walls: Yellowing or dark spots on your walls and ceilings suggest water seepage.
- Dripping Water: Obvious leaks, especially during or after heavy rain, indicate a problem.
- Shingle Wear and Tear: Cracked, curled, or missing shingles can allow water to seep through.
- Mildew on Walls or Ceilings: Musty smells or visible mold in the attic or on walls suggest water accumulation.
- Worn Shingle Granules: Gutter debris from your roof’s surface suggests material deterioration.
