Finding a leak in your roof can be very difficult. Unfortunately you may not be aware of the leak until it has caused major damage to your home. This is why it is important to investigate and take care of any signs that a show up:

• Discolored spots on the ceiling or walls.
• Peeling paint or rotting wood around skylights.
• Finding shingles that have come off.
• Damaged or cracked flashing on your roof.
• Water dripping from the ceiling after a hard rain or heavy snow has melted.
• Formations of ice dams.
• Musty smell in your attic.

Remember to always put safety first when checking for a leaky roof or use a professional roofing service or general contractor to help you.

Also, remember to call your insurance agent to see if your roof leak is covered by your insurance company. Insurance companies may have stipulations on the cause of the roof damage and it may not be covered.
