How to Find a Leak in a Metal Roof

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against whatever Mother Nature may have in store. However, if you suspect that your roof is aging poorly or has been damaged, you may question its ability to withstand inclement weather. This is an understandable concern. Many homeowners don’t know how to determine if their metal roof is leaking and are unsure if they should start researching roofing companies. To develop a better understanding of the condition of your roof, there are multiple ways to tell if a leak is present.

What to Look For

Do you suspect that your metal roof may have a leak? If so, look for the following:
• A punctured hole. This may result from rough weather or the impact of debris. A hole makes for a vulnerable spot in the metal and can allow water infiltration.
• Rust damage. Water and metal don’t often get along. If your metal roof has a weak point where water has entered, it can result in rust, which presents as brown or yellow stains.
• Missing, loose, or misaligned screws. If your metal roofing system is not properly screwed in, then it may not be properly sealed, which can allow water to enter your home.
• Shifting panels. Tying into the problem of poorly secured or missing screws, if you notice panels that are not lying flush to the roof, there may be gaps where water can seep through and cause leaks.

- Erin M.

"Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!"

Laura M.

"Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!"
