What to note about the leak
- Where the stain or drip appears and when you first noticed it.
- Whether it happens with every rain, wind from a certain direction, or only under particular conditions.
- The approximate roof age and any previous leak repairs.
- Photos taken safely from inside or from ground level.
You do not need to diagnose the leak before calling. Water may travel before it becomes visible inside.
What a roof review should consider
Flashing, vents and other penetrations, valleys, edges, and damaged roof covering are common areas to examine. The assessment should also consider the condition of surrounding roofing and any visible signs of repeated water entry. An interior stain alone does not establish which component needs repair.
How a leak assessment leads to repair
A written leak-repair scope should explain the suspected source, the proposed work, adjoining roofing, and any limitations. Ask what happens if hidden damage appears after work begins.
A focused repair may suit an isolated issue. Repeated leaks or widespread deterioration warrant a broader roof inspection and repair assessment and possibly a conversation about roof replacement. A leak alone does not automatically mean you need a new roof.
Coastal paperwork and follow-up
Discuss whether your property and planned work need permits or windstorm inspection before construction. Our windstorm guide points to official resources. Keep the agreed scope, photos, and completed-work documents together, and ask whom to contact if water appears again.
