Signs of a roof leak

Look for these signs of a leak and for the kinds of damage that let water into your home.

  • Interior water damage: Water stains on your walls or ceiling mean you likely have a roof leak.
  • Active leaks: Water dripping from a ceiling, a spreading stain or wet insulation in the attic means water is already getting in.
  • Attic damage: Water damage includes mold or mildew growth and rotting wood in your attic, along with stains on your ceiling.
  • Missing or damaged shingles: A shingle roof needs repairs if the materials become loose and fall off. You may also notice shingles curling upward due to wind damage.
  • Storm damage: Strong wind can lift or tear off shingles. Hail can crack shingles, and hail damage can let rain into your home.
  • Tree or debris impact: A fallen tree or large limb can crack the roof deck and break the shingles over it, leaving an opening for rain.
  • Fire damage: A fire can burn through shingles and the wood beneath them, and the damaged section can let water in the next time it rains.
  • Visible sagging: The roof will need significant repairs if it starts to sag in the center.

How we find and fix a leak

We look at the damage and find where the water is getting in. Then we work through the repair in these steps.

  • Cover the opening: If the roof is open, we cover it with a tarp to stop the leak. Emergency tarping is a temporary measure, and the tarp helps keep rain out until a permanent repair or replacement is scheduled.
  • Check the roof: We inspect the property and look at the condition of the roof covering, flashing, decking and surrounding areas.
  • Get a written estimate: We give you a written estimate for the repair or replacement your roof needs.
  • Repair the roof: We handle the permanent repair or replacement.

Our crews work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile roofs, membrane-based flat roofs and slate roofs. Older roofs with significant damage likely need replacement rather than roof repair. For other repairs, see our roof repair page.

Frequently asked questions

Here are answers to common questions about roof leaks.

Can a leaking roof be repaired, or do I need a replacement?

A leak by itself does not show that you need an entirely new roof. What matters is how the roof covering, flashing, decking and surrounding areas are holding up. We look over the damage, then explain whether a targeted repair is practical or whether you should consider a replacement.

What affects the scope of a roof leak repair?

Several things set the scope of a leak repair. They are where the leak starts, the roof material, access to the roof, how large the damaged area is and whether the decking has hidden damage. Describe what you are seeing and ask for an estimate. Before you authorize any work, we explain what we propose and the price.

What should I include when I ask for an estimate?

Add the property address, where you see the leak or damage, when it started, your roof type if you know it, and when you want the work done. You do not need to climb onto the roof or know the cause before contacting us. We call you back the same day.

How do I limit leak damage before the repair?

Put a container under any dripping water, and keep furniture and electronics clear of the leak. A ceiling that sags with water means you should stay out of that room. Photograph the damage so you have a record, then call us. We will put a tarp on the roof and schedule the repair.

How can I prevent roof damage?

Keep your gutters clear and have the roof inspected on a regular schedule. Both can help maintain the condition of your roof, so it does not need serious repairs.
