The first sign that you have a leak in your roof is usually when you see a water stain on your roof, but in fact, it can be quite taxing to pinpoint the source of the leak, but roof leaks can be detected by looking for water spots on your ceilings & walls, missing shingles, cracked or disfigured shingles, water spots on your roof decking, & missing shingles.
Attic water can travel along the rafters & other horizontal surfaces of the attic, making it tough to pinpoint exactly where the water is entering the attic.
It could be a missing flashing around the chimney, or another entry point, that is allowing water into your attic. If shingles are missing, cracked, or otherwise disfigured, water can leak into the condo over time. If a leak is ignored, it can start out small & cause a lot of disfigure. Ice dams can also allow water to enter, as snow thaws on the warmer portions of the roof & refreezes on the frosty eaves, ice dams form, these dams can cause water to back up under the shingles. You may have leaks if you do not have an ice & water underlayment installed under the shingles. Homeowners experience leaks because of imrespected roof upgrade & awful workmanship. If you choose the right builders & companys to install your roof, you can avoid leaks in the long run. It is important to choose highly qualified professionals who have experience with the type of roof upgrade you need. The closer your roof gets to the aged age of 15 to 20 years or more, the more likely it is to have an issue, especially if you haven’t kept up with routine service. If your roof is near the end of its lifespan, it may simply be necessary for the original roofing material to be replaced.
