Roofing should be well-maintained to ensure it serves its purpose well without issues. If neglected, your roof may develop structural damage, have mold growth, and other issues that may weaken it. When the roofing is structurally weakened or damaged, it will be prone to leaking. Water stains in your interior are the common traits that tell you about a leaking roof.
When the leaking is too much, you will experience water coming from the ceiling. Whereas leaking should be fixed as soon as possible, it can be challenging to identify the exact place where the leak is originating. So, how do you determine the points of leaks in your roofing? The following are some areas that you should first check when you experience leaking in your roofing. Shingles Shingles on your roof can be damaged and end up allowing moisture into your interior. They can be cracked, corroded, buckled or blown off, especially if there was a severe storm in your area recently. The shingles should be scrutinised because it can be challenging to pinpoint the exact damaged area. Check the roofing nails to ensure they are all in place and fitted appropriately. If you see granules around your home, it means the shingles are damaged and possibly causing leaking into your home. If trees are hanging over the roofing of your home, check the areas where the trees come into contact with the roof because they may be worn out, leading to leaking. Flashing Flashing is used to direct water to another direction in case it wants to seam down into roofing joints. You will find flashing around vents, chimneys, and other areas with an angle or joints in the roof. A flashing that is not fitted the right way will allow water to flow under and find a way into your home. When inspecting for leaking that you suspect is caused by flashing, check for missing flashing, loose ones, or ripped ones. The flashing should cover the joints completely and tightly fitted to prevent water from finding its way into your interior. Assess the Other Additions on Your Roofing If you have additional features in your roofing that are not part of your roof, you should inspect them carefully because they may be the source of the leaking in your home. The features may be added for functionality or aesthetic such as chimneys or skylights, respectively. The sealing around these features may not be done properly; hence, exposing your roof to leaking. Therefore, assess the areas around where you have installed extra roofing features for any loopholes. A leaky residential roof can be a disaster. It not only poses a risk to the interiors of your properties but also risks the integrity of the overall roofing. That is why you should hire a professional roofing company to help you in identifying and fixing leaks in your home as early as possible.

Excellent post! Thanks for sharing. A thorough inspection is necessary to find the roof leaks. Sometimes the holes are hidden in the attic area.

Very helpful points made here. One thing to add is look out for leaky roof warning signs like peeling wallpaper and yellow spot on your ceiling.

It's too expensive to replace the whole roof. It's better to hire professional roof repairing companies for inspection and they'll also do maintenance if required.
