Tips for Detecting Multiple Roof Leaks

Roof leaks appear when the water from rain or from melted snow penetrate the deeper layers of the roofing structure and from there into the attic. The water tends to accumulate on the attic floor, soaking it until the dampness appears on the ceiling of the rooms on the topmost level of the building. Depending on the amount of water that has accumulated in the attic and on the size of the pond, you might get a single leak or the leak might take the form of multiple leaks, that is, multiple bulges on the ceiling, all filled with water and then multiple holes through which water is pouring into the roof from upwards. To be able to detect the source of the leak, you need to have Denver roofing companies inspect the roof from outside as well as the attic space – here is how:

  • Check the roof standing on the ground – large leaks can sometimes be detected from the ground. Look up on the roof to check for missing or damaged components;

  • Check the attic – go to the attic right after the rain and find the pond of water or the damp patch through which water has entered your room. Thread carefully – if the water has soaked into the attic floor, it might be very dangerous to step on the floor.
