Starting from inside the home going from room to room, visually inspect the ceiling for discoloration spots. Take note which areas of the home are showing water spots. Be mindful that water does not always follow a straight path. The source of the leak may not be directly on top of where the spot first appears. Keep in mind where the plumbing may run through the room. If the leak is found near a restroom or kitchen for example, the issue may be a leaky pipe and therefore, not requiring the help from a Phoenix roofing contractor.
Ask a friend to help inspect the outside of the home as well. Secure a ladder safely to the outside and spray water onto the roof to simulate rain. Do not attempt to walk on the roof if there is water or snow or if you have reason to believe the roof is not able to support the body weight of an adult. If you see any evidence of a Phoenix AZ roofing beyond your mechanical skills or an obvious structural issue, immediately call a roofing contractor. Visually inspect the roof for pooling water, signs of discoloration, or upraised shingles. Discoloration may signify rotting or spots were previous repairs were made.
Have another friend stand in the room you are testing to keep an eye on any leaks showing. Use 2 way radios or cell phones to coordinate which rooms are being tested on the top floor or attic. Carry a flashlight to for water leaks in closets or other poorly lit areas where water spots may go unnoticed.
Be honest when accessing your skills when it comes to home repair. If you have little to no experience, contact a roofing company such as Arizona Native Roofing. An improper roof repair can snowball into more problems than the initial leak would have caused.

The ideal season for you to do some roof repair would be spring or summer. It’s advisable that you inspect your roof during such periods, even when you suspect there’s no damage. It’ll be truly burdensome when you only get to realize that there’s a leak during rainy season and winter. Roofs are hard to repair during wet seasons.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Sierra about summer being the best time to do roof and ceiling spot-checking. Any repairs that have to be made need time to dry, and summer’s heat can definitely speed that process up. Rains will keep the repair materials wet, and may even wash them away and cause more damage. But let’s also keep in mind that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Let’s be ready for damage BEFORE they happen, and not just after. One great way to prevent leaking roofs and ceilings is to make sure that roofs, gutters and downspouts are clear of any debris that may stop the flow of rain water. If these channels are blocked, rain water may enter the house instead and do a lot of costly damage.

ReplyDeleteRegular leak inspection and assessing the root cause of your roof problems can save you from incurring unnecessary expenses. If there are already some indications like mold formation and droplets of water from your ceiling, it is better to immediately conduct a roof inspection.
