Roof leaks are a common problem. If your roof is leaking, then you will need to get this problem fixed as soon as possible. A leaking roof can cause serious damage to your home. There are a number of signs that suggest that your roof is leaking.
Water Stains on Your Ceiling
There are a number of things that can cause water stains to develop on your ceiling. Condensation and plumbing leaks are examples of some of the other things that can cause your roof to have water stains. However, if you notice that the spots are bigger or darker after the rain, then this problem is likely caused by a roof leak.
You Have Missing Shingles
If your roof is damaged, then it is more prone to damage. That is why you should have your roof inspected for leaks if you notice that there are shingles missing.
You Have ice Dams
Ice dams develop after the snow on your roof freezes and thaws. Keep in mind that an ice dam can form without a lot of snow. In fact, an ice dam can develop even if there are only one or two inches of snow outside.
You Notice a Drip
If you have drips or moisture on your walls, then you most likely have a leak. This dripping may be caused by an ice dam. Even if the leak seems to go away, you should still have it inspected by a professional.
Your Shingles are Starting to Curl
This problem may be caused by water absorption. It may also be caused by hot air in the attic. Curling roof shingles are a cause for concern because they cannot properly protect the roof.
Your Roof is Rotting
This problem is caused by moisture. You may also develop mold and algae on your roof.
