Roof Repair

Sometimes roofs develop leaks years before the entire roof needs to be replaced. Usually these leaks are caused by localized damage such as cracked or missing shingles or shakes.

Finding a leak is one of the few things that strikes fear into homeowners heart. Catching the leak early can mean the difference between a simple roof repair and calling professionals like Statewide Roofing and Construction LLC for assistance. The hardest part is locating the leak. If you have a water bulge in your ceiling, or drywall is sagging, poke a hole in it with a pencil to alleviate the water pressure and avoid further damage like a collapsed wall or ceiling.

Take a moment when you find a leak to do a check list.

• Are your gutters blocked or backed up. This can mimic a roof leak.
• Check for water spots in your ceiling and look in your attic to see if there is any dripping water.
• Look for water stains on the underside of the roof board and check your insulation to see if it’s wet.

A leaking roof needs immediate attention, tracking the leak and having it repaired as quickly as possible is always the best course of action.
