What to look for:

Look for rust spots on the flashing.

-
Check your gutters. If you have an asphalt roof, do you see granules from your shingles that have loosened over time?
-
Check your attic for signs of a leaky roof. The most obvious sign would be light from the outside shining through, but you can also check for water stains or mold on the beams supporting your roof.

Leaks can occur around roof vents as the seals can degrade over time and allow rain to enter.

Other sources of leaks include flashing, skylights and roof boots. Faulty nailing of shingles can be another culprit. A ridge where two roofs meet and water fun

We are highly experienced at finding the source of the leak and assessing the damage and recommending a solution. Often, a minor repair is all that is needed. However, if the roof is old, the leak just may a symptom of further failure.
