Roof Leaks
If you are confident you have a leak, it would be best to immediately contact a roofing professional. Waterloo Restoration provides expert tarping services, as you may already know, if your roof is actively leaking due to weather, our team can not repair the leak until that weather has stopped. The tarping service will act as a temporary fix to minimize the damage inside your home until your roofer can fix the problem.
As experienced roofing professionals in the Dallas, Fort-Worth, Austin, TX and Charlotte, NC areas, Waterloo Restoration will inspect your roof both from the exterior of the roof itself as well as the inside of your home, typically through the attic. Inspecting the underside of the roof sheeting can show signs of water damage, however it is not a foolproof method so inspecting the roof for damage is needed as well.
DANGERS OF WAITING
It is important to act quickly when it comes to a roof leak. Leaky roofs never fix themselves or get better on their own. Even if the leak isn’t bad yet. Get it fixed now. Often we hear from homeowners that they noticed a stain on their ceiling or possibly some bubbling for awhile but thought it wasn’t serious. Avoidance and ignoring will not fix a leak in your roof. Many times by the time you notice damage within your home it is already too late.
On the inside, you should look for:
- Dark spots
- Spots where outside light shines through
- Sagging
On the outside, you should keep an eye out for:
- Missing, warped, rotting, peeling, broken, blistering, or buckling shingles
- Clogged or slow-draining gutters/downspouts
- Loose material or wear around chimneys or vents
