What Can a Leaking Roof Do to My Home?

Even a small leak in a roof can lead to big problems. Roof leaks can destroy attics and insulation, damage ceilings, cause major mold growth, and rot the framing of your house. To preserve your home and keep the repair bill down, you must handle roof leaks immediately, from the moment you spot them.

What Are the Symptoms of a Leaking Roof?

Keep an eye out for these signs that your roof is leaking:

  • The most obvious indication will be a drip from the ceiling, but it may not happen every time it rains.
  • Mold and mildew are growing on ceilings, interior walls, or in the attic.
  • There are moisture stains or water rings on the ceiling or walls.
  • There are water spots or mold growth on the upper exterior wall where it meets the roof.
  • Mold is growing elsewhere on exterior walls.
  • You’ve noticed water stains around your bathroom vent fan.
  • The asphalt shingles (flexible shingles made from cellulose and glass fibers that are coated with asphalt) are buckling or curling.

What Causes a Roof to Leak?

  • Missing, damaged, or broken shingles.
  • The roof is old and needs replacing. Depending on the composition of materials used, roofs can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years. Metal roofs can last for life unless they’re damaged.
  • The flashing is worn or missing, allowing water to get in. Flashing is thin, metal strips, caulked in place, that make a seal beneath shingles to create a watertight barrier.
  • There are holes in the roof caused by equipment installation, such as satellites, or falling tree branches or other debris.
  • Your roof is exposed to excessively prolonged periods of moisture due to the improper installation of gutters.

When Should I Hire a Professional for Roof Leak Repair?
