My roof is leaking

This is an emergency situation that requires immediate professional attention. Do not attempt DIY repairs.

Damp or musty smell in attic
Visible light through roof boards
Missing or damaged shingles
Sagging roof deck

Common Causes & Solutions

1

Storm Damage

High winds, hail, and falling debris can damage shingles and create entry points for water.

Solution: Emergency tarping followed by permanent repairs or replacement.
2

Age & Wear

Shingles deteriorate over time, losing granules and becoming brittle.

Solution: Full or partial roof replacement depending on damage extent.
3

Flashing Failure

Metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys can corrode or separate.

Solution: Flashing repair or replacement with proper sealing.
4

Ice Dams

Ice buildup at roof edges prevents proper drainage, forcing water under shingles.

Solution: Ice dam removal, improved ventilation, and ice/water shield installation.
5

Clogged Gutters

Backed-up gutters can cause water to pool and seep under roofing materials.

Solution: Gutter cleaning, repair, and possible gutter guard installation.

What To Do When Your Roof Leaks

First, move valuables away from the leak and place buckets to catch water. If safe, check your attic for the water entry point. Do not attempt roof repairs yourself in wet conditions. Contact a professional roofer immediately to assess the damage and prevent further water intrusion.

Preventing Future Roof Leaks

Regular roof inspections catch small problems before they become major leaks. We recommend annual inspections, especially after severe weather. Keeping gutters clean, trimming overhanging branches, and addressing minor repairs promptly all extend your roof's life and prevent leaks.
