Tracking Down a Leaking Roof


When you are tracking down a roof leak, begin by checking your ceiling for water stains. Check for roof penetrations. Things that penetrate the roof can be the most popular source of Roof Leaks. It’s very uncommon for leaks to occur in exposed areas of unbroken shingles, also on traditional roofs. Penetrations can involve plumbing and roof vents, chimneys, dormers or something else that extends through the roof. Sometimes the main cause of a leak can be a couple of meters out of the way or eye.
 
If you have loft entrance, the simplest technique to hunt down a leak is to go up there with a touch and study for any indication of a leak. There may be signs of water stains, black marks or mold. But inspect the rafters and check membrane for any rip or tears that may have occurred. To make this process easier break it down into sections so you can keep control of where you have checked. Make sure you check any brickwork that could be leaking rain water in and sipping into the floor boards and the cause water stains on your ceilings.
