How to Spot a Leaky Roof?

A leaky roof can wreak havoc on a home, as it is difficult and often costly to fix. The sources of most water leaks are hard to find because they originate away from where the water penetration shows up before eventually dripping through the ceiling or seeping under doors in other areas. However, there are methods for figuring out these sources by following what experts say which boils down to “thinking like water.” Water typically comes into homes through worn shingles; loose nails at intersections of roofs planes (typically caused by poor weather); corroded flashing around vents, skylights or chimneys; and poorly sealed corners between two sections of your roof that meet together without overlapping siding boards below them.

You may not know that your roof is leaking until you see the damage it’s caused. That’s why, when a roof leakage starts to drip on furniture or other important items in your home, check for wetness along with the framing members above this area and go up into the attic with a flashlight during daylight hours—when leaks are more likely to occur! Step only on secure framing members, don’t put yourself at risk by stepping onto the insulation or topside of ceilings as neither will support you. Start above the place where the drip has occurred and work your way up the roof, looking for wetness along with the framing members.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What are the causes of Roof Leakage?
When you have signs of water damage it is best to quickly find the cause in your roofing system. Obvious roof leakages are caused by holes in the roof. This can happen due to corrosion over time or when an object in your roof like an antenna or a satellite has been removed and not patched up correctly. Another common reason for a leaky roof is due to missing or damaged shingles. This can be due to gutter issues such as there being debris in the gutter. While peaks and valleys on your roof add to a beautiful architectural design they also create a potential water entry. Another thing that can increase the chance of a roof leak is a shallow roof slope or a flat roof as the water can’t run off efficiently. Hiring a professional roofing contractor is very important because when vents and skylights aren’t installed properly they are not sealed or watertight. Also, be sure to look out for any water stains and cracks in the glass of any skylights. In metal roofing, one thing to consider is damage to the roof flashings, which can happen when they are not installed correctly. When the attic is ventilated poorly or lacks proper insulation, such as extreme temperature changes, can add to the condensation which can cause water leaks inside the home as well as mould and mildew.
2What is the most common cause of roof leaks?
Roof leaks are quite common and can be caused by several factors. One common cause is water issues; if a roof leak is due to water problems, it can typically be prevented by repairing the damaged areas.

For those living in areas prone to natural disasters, such as hurricanes or tornadoes, extra precautions are needed to protect the roof from water damage. Lastly, heavy snowfall is another frequent cause of roof leaks.
3Where do most roof leaks occur?
Most roof leaks occur at the fissures or cracks in the shingles. The cracks can be caused by debris, animal activity, improper installation, or water freezing in the cracks during the winter months. The leaks can also occur around nails or screws, the edges of skylights and vents, chimneys, etc.

For example, normal asphalt shingles last less than 20 years, fibre cement shingles last around 25 years, slates, tile and metal roofing have a longer life of around 50 years. Damage and neglect could shorten your roof life.
