Signs Your Roof Might Be Leaking

  • Water stains on ceilings or walls.

  • Peeling paint or bubbling drywall.

  • Mold or mildew smells in the attic.

  • Dripping water during rainstorms.


What to Do If You Find a Leak

  1. Contain the water: Place buckets or containers to minimize damage.

  2. Protect your belongings: Move furniture, electronics, and valuables.

  3. Inspect safely: If possible, look for missing shingles, cracked tiles, or clogged gutters.

  4. Call a professional roofer: DIY patches are temporary—roof leaks require expert repair.
