Repairing Roof Leaks Doesn’t Have to Be a Nightmare

roofing evans ga

Often, the only way you know you need roof repair in Augusta GA is when you see a leak. It’s pretty obvious from the inside where the leak is – you see discoloration on the ceiling or walls, and there’s water falling in your face. Finding the leak from the top, however, can be tricky. You need to call the commercial roofing contractors at All South Roofing. We have the training and experience to find and fix even the smallest leaks before they become a big, expensive nightmare.

There are a few ways you can find the leak yourself, though. Unless it is actively raining, you might have some trouble locating the leak in the roof itself. Here are some tips:

Work backward

You know where the water leaked through the ceiling. Start there, and work your way up the roof. Most of the, the leak is not directly over the spot in question. Water usually travels down rafters and sheeting until it finds a place to drip. Look for stains and discolorations on the wood, and trace that back to the source.

Add water

If it’s not raining, make it rain! Recruit a family member or friend to go outside and squirt a water hose on the roof in the general area of the leak while you go in the attic and watch for water coming through.

Go toward the light

During the day, go into the attic and look at the backside of your roof. Anywhere you see light coming through from the outside is a potential leak.

Now that you’ve found the leak, it’s time to get it fixed. Many homeowners have the skills and resources to fix the leak themselves. If you do not have any experience, though, you should call the expert commercial roofing contractors at All South Roofing.

Even if you have experience and know-how, if your roof is steep, your house is two or more stories high or your roof is old and disintegrating, err on the side of caution and call (706) 495-5102 for a free quote.
