How To Spot A Roof Leak Before It Becomes A Big Problem

Hi there!

At John Peters Roofing, we know a small leak can turn into a big headache—fast. The good news? You can catch the warning signs early and save yourself time, stress, and money.

HERE ARE 5 SIGNS TO WATCH FOR:

1. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls

Brownish rings or discoloration could be the first clue that water’s getting through.

2. Missing or Damaged Shingles

Strong winds, hail, or even time can loosen shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks.

3. Granules in the Gutters

As shingles wear out, they shed granules. If you see a buildup in your gutters, it might be time for a closer look.

4. Sagging or Soft Spots in the Roof

If you notice a sag or feel a soft spot while walking on your roof, moisture may have compromised the structure.

5. Mold or Mildew in the Attic

Poor ventilation or hidden leaks can lead to mold growth—an early indicator of a roof issue.
