Detecting Roof Leaks

Interior Signs

The first signs of a roof leak are often noticed indoors. Look for water stains on ceilings and walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, damp spots, and a musty odour. Pay extra attention to areas near chimneys, skylights, vents, and any roof penetrations where leaks are most likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, it is essential to take immediate action to prevent further damage to your home’s interior.

Attic Inspection

A thorough inspection of your attic can reveal invaluable signs of roof leaks. Start by checking for daylight coming through the roof boards, as this indicates a gap or hole where water can penetrate. Look for water stains or trails on the attic floor or walls, damp insulation, mold growth, and rotting wood. Inspect the underside of the roof for any cracks or openings that may allow water to seep in. The presence of any of these signs indicates that you may have a roof leak that needs to be addressed promptly.

Exterior Examination

Inspecting the exterior of your roof is critical for detecting potential sources of leaks. Begin by examining the roof from a distance to identify any obvious issues such as missing or damaged shingles, curling or buckling shingles, cracked flashing, or any signs of wear and tear. Pay close attention to the areas around chimneys, skylights, vents, and roof valleys, as these are common areas where leaks occur. Additionally, check for clogged gutters and downspouts, as they can contribute to water backup and roof leaks. If you notice any of these issues, it is crucial to contact Godfrey Roofing for a thorough inspection and professional repair.

Using Technology

Godfrey Roofing utilizes cutting-edge technology to assist in the detection of roof leaks. This includes infrared thermography, which can identify hidden leaks by detecting temperature variations on the roof’s surface. The use of such advanced techniques ensures a comprehensive assessment of your roof and accurate detection of leaks that may not be visible to the naked eye.
