Roof Leak Location and Repair

If you have water stains that run across ceilings or down walls, a leaking roof is probably the cause. Locating the leak is the hard part, however, especially with certain types of roofing or ceilings, but fixing the leak is fairly easy.

Learn more about the causes of leaking roofs and where to go for a quality roof repair.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks

Here are the common causes of roof leaks:

• Missing, cracked or damaged shingles.
• Ice damming.
• Clogged gutters.
• Damaged flashing or joints.
• Soffit and fascia damage.

Water can enter through an exposed nail hole or a spot with missing shingles until it finds an area to penetrate the roof deck.

Common Signs of a Roof Leak

Here are the common signs of a leaking roof to watch for:

• Water spots or stains on walls and ceilings.
• Sounds of running water.
• Wet carpet or flooring.
• High utility bills.
• Pooling water or puddles.
• Mold or mildew growth on ceilings or walls.

The signs may be obvious, but locating the leak is more difficult. If you have an attic or a cathedral or vaulted ceiling, find the exact location of the leak can be nearly impossible. Water can also travel a great distance from where it initially penetrated your roof, which makes it much harder to find the source and can compromise the structure of the roof in between.
