Common Signs of a Roof Leak

It’s your hope that your roof never leaks, but you never know what could happen as wet weather moves through the area.

It’s important to become familiar with the most common signs of a roof leak, as you’ll want to deal with this problem as quickly as possible. If you don’t, you run the risk of additional problems.

Here are a handful of the most common signs of a roof leak:

·      Buckling shingles

·      Mold and algae growth

·      Damaged flashing

·      Curling shingles

·      Missing shingles

·      Granule loss (you’ll see this in your gutters)

·      Roof rot

·      Ceiling spots in the interior of your home

Just because you notice one or more of these signs doesn’t necessarily mean you have a roof leak. For example, buckling shingles doesn’t guarantee that there is water entering your home. However, there’s a chance it could pose an issue in the near future, so you don’t want to wait too long to learn more.
