A hearty rainfall is always welcome in Texas after a lengthy dry spell. Yet, if you’re resting in your house, waiting out the storm, and notice the sound of water dripping on your floor, you’ve got a problem.
Roof leaks are every homeowner’s nightmare. If left unresolved, they create structural damage and lead to premature roof replacement, mold growth, and floor warping.
Protecting your home from the elements outside ready to destroy it should always be your priority as a homeowner, but sometimes a leak means you’ve acted too late.
Never fear; there are a few steps you can take to protect your home at this point as you wait for our roofing team to guide you through the rest of the repair process.
With some detective work and temporary repairs, you can get the leak under control until a roofer makes permanent repairs. Read on to learn how to track down and tackle a roof leak.
Detecting the Source of the Leak
Your first step is to figure out where that water is coming from. But that doesn’t mean risking it all and going up on the roof. Go into your attic with a flashlight and look for wet areas on the roof decking or spots where light is streaming through.
This will give you a general idea of the leak’s location.
Once you’ve found the leak, minimize further water intrusion; cover the holes with plastic sheeting.
When to Call the Pros
While minor roof repairs like patching shingles or resealing flashing are doable DIY projects for the handiest of homeowners, it’s best to call in a professional roofer for major leaks or extensive damage.
We have the expertise, equipment, and access to the quality materials needed to repair or replace your roof permanently.
Signs it’s time to pick up the phone include:
- Visible light or major dripping/puddling in the attic
- Leaks in older or worn-out roofing materials
- Significant pooling water on the roof
- Major damage like missing or curling shingles over a large area
- Severe attic mold or structural damage from prolonged leakage
