Signs You May Have a Roof Leak
Some roof leaks are easy to spot. Others stay hidden until water has already moved beneath roofing materials or into the building. A stain inside your property may show that water is getting in, but it does not always reveal the exact entry point on the roof. Common warning signs include:
- Yellow or brown water stains on ceilings or walls
- Dripping or damp areas inside the property
- Cracked, broken, or displaced roof tiles
- Curling, cupping, or damaged asphalt shingles
- Loose or damaged flashing
- Worn seals around roof penetrations
- Moisture near roof decking
- Interior damage that appears after heavy rain or monsoon storms
How We Locate Roof Leaks
Finding a hidden leak starts with checking the damaged area and the roof conditions that may be letting water in. Water can travel beneath roofing materials, so the visible stain may not be directly below the source.
Inspect the Area of Concern
Our team starts with the area where the property owner has noticed water, staining or damage. From there, we inspect the roof surface for visible problems such as broken or shifted tiles, damaged shingles and worn seals. The next step depends on the roofing material and its condition.
Investigate Tile Roof Leaks
Tile roofing is common within the Las Vegas Valley, and a leak may come from damage that is not visible from the surface alone. When checking a potential leak on a tile roof, our team may remove tiles around the area of concern so we can inspect what is underneath.
This lets us check the underlayment, flashing, and nearby components. If we find damage, we can provide a repair proposal.
Inspect Asphalt Shingle Roof Problems
For a shingle roof, we inspect the area of concern for damaged, worn, or aging shingles. We also consider the roof’s overall condition.
A localized repair may be enough when damage is limited. If the roof has reached or passed its expected service life, we may recommend replacement instead of continuing to repair an aging system.
Roof Leak Repair Options After the Problem Is Found
Once the source of a leak has been identified, the next step is choosing the repair that fits the roof’s condition. The work may involve replacing broken or displaced tiles, securing or replacing flashing, or addressing deteriorated underlayment. The right repair depends on the roof type, damage location, and condition of nearby materials.
When a Tile Roof May Need New Underlayment
If tile-roof underlayment has reached the end of its useful life, a re-felt may be recommended. During this process, the existing tiles are lifted and stacked. The deteriorated underlayment is removed and replaced with two layers of 30-pound felt. The existing tiles are then relaid, and flashing can be replaced where needed. This process addresses the worn material beneath the tile without automatically requiring an entirely new tile roof.
Prevent Future Leaks With Roof Maintenance
Routine maintenance can help catch small problems before they lead to water intrusion. Roof maintenance may include:
- Checking the roof surface for damaged or displaced materials
- Replacing broken tiles when needed
- Sealing and securing pipe penetrations
- Clearing debris from the roof and valleys
- Keeping drainage paths open
- Addressing pigeon debris when it creates a roofing concern
- Repairing minor problem areas before they become larger leaks
Palm fronds, windblown debris, and other material can collect in roof valleys, causing slow drainage and water to back up. Routine cleaning also gives a roofer a chance to spot developing problems.
