Whether it’s the result of storm damage or normal wear and tear, almost every homeowner will find themselves needing roof repair at some point. However, as the team at CWC Roofing and Exteriors in Saint Louis, MO, Naples & Kissimmee, FL, notes, quickly finding a leak and scheduling repairs is essential for avoiding even greater damage to the home. Keep an eye out for these warning signs of a leak. 

When You Need to Schedule Roof Repair

1. Ceiling Stains

These stains form as water accumulates on the ceiling after leaking through the roof. Quite often, you’ll need to replace the damaged section of the ceiling in addition to scheduling roof repair.

2. Insulation Deterioration

If you’re worried about a leak, checking in your attic is an easy way to get answers. Insulation deteriorates quickly when exposed to water, so check for mold and other signs of moisture. Going up to the attic during a rainstorm is also an easy way to spot any water leaking through the roof.

3. Missing Shingles

You can also check for missing shingles or other exterior damage to the roof. You don’t have to get up on the roof, either—you may get a good view by walking around the property. If shingles have been blown away in a storm, get them replaced as soon as possible to prevent future leaks.
