How Do You Find A Leak In A Roof?
Our senses lead us to find a problem. If you see, hear or smell an indication of incoming water, you probably have reason to look for the source of the sound. It is extremely important to do this quickly and repair it immediately. The following will help you locate the leaky area in your roof. Check your attic thoroughly both during dry weather and during a heavy rainfall if possible. Look for standing water, water spots, mold, or cone-shaped designs on fiber glass. Compare any spots you find when it’s dry in the attic to ones you find when it’s raining. These are indications of leaky spots in your roof. Wipe the wood near the suspected leaky area with a dry paper towel. If the paper becomes damp, follow the trail upward to the uppermost location. Mark it with a marker and check the spot during the next rain. Go onto the roof and check for signs of damage. This includes warped, cracked or damaged shingles. Make note of damaged shingles and make plans to replace them as soon as possible
