Detecting Roof Leaks Before They Escalate
What starts as a small leak can grow into a significant problem, causing mold, rot, and costly structural repairs. Here’s why early detection matters.
Early Warning Signs of Roof Damage
Recognizing the signs of a roof leak early can prevent further damage. Keep an eye out for these warning signals:
- Discolored Ceiling Areas: 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.
- Shingle Wear and Tear: Cracked, curled, or missing shingles can allow water to seep through.
- Mildew on Walls or Ceilings: Unpleasant odors and visible mold can indicate a hidden roof issue.
- Roofing Debris in Gutters: Shingles shedding granules is a warning sign of aging or damage.
