Does that roof leak really mean you need a roof replacement? Can it wait? Here’s the answer from the Maitland roof replacement team at Advantage Roofing.

What Can I Do About My Leaking Roof?

We know what you’re thinking: “Of course, this roofing company is going to tell me I need a roof replacement for my leaking roof.”

And while roofing services are our full-time job, we know that the best way to maintain our excellent reputation and long-term customer relationships is through honesty and integrity. When it comes to your Maitland roof replacement, we won’t make any recommendations that are outside of your budget and won’t benefit you in the long run.

A roof leak is caused by a damaged roof. Whether your roof is deteriorating due to age or there was another physical damage (like a tree branch blown down by a storm) that created the leak, it’s something that needs to be addressed quickly.

What Can I Do For A Roof Leak Until The Roofer Arrives?

Roof leaks are difficult because they don’t always cause visible damage (like water stains) right away, so if you’re not aware of the leak, it can go unnoticed for months. A leak in your attic can create rot in roof joists and rafters, dangerous mold growth, and even electrical damage.

The other challenge with a leaking roof is that the leaks are often very hard to locate. Water will always run downhill, so by the time you notice water spots, the drops may have traveled quite a distance from the source of the leak. Many homeowners schedule annual leak inspections that can catch leaks before they worsen. These inspections can help determine if you need a Maitland roof replacement or repair.

Once you know that you have a roof leak, your next steps are all about damage control. After you’ve contacted Advantage Roofing, you’ll want to do what you can to reduce the impact that the leak has on your home:
