Six Signs Your Roof is Leaking!

#1. Water Spots on your Ceiling - your roof has a leak.

#2. Water Spots on Exterior - The step flashing where the roof meets a wall is loose.

#3. The Roof is Missing Shingles - The sealant strip under the shingle may have been damaged.

#4. Cracking Shingles - The granules have probably worn off, allowing the shingles to become brittle. They probably need to be replaced.

#5. Your Gutters are Filled with Granules and Wash out the Downspouts - The shingles are deteriorating or reaching the end of their lifespan.

#6. The Roof Leaks when the Temperature Fluctuates Between Warm and Freezing - You probably have ice dams. Ice dams are caused by freeze-and-thaw cycles that allow ice to build up on the roof and block melting snow from draining off.
