Leaky Roof? Here Are Some Practical Tips to Get it Fixed 

Leaking roof is one of the worst nightmares for every property owner, especially during the rainy season. While this problem could have been prevented with regular roof maintenance, it is impossible to turn back time. We have no other option but to fix the roof and learn from this mistake.  Before thinking of a solution, the very first thing to do is to determine if your roof leaks. A few of the telltale signs that your roof is leaking are the following: 
  • Water stains on your ceiling 
  • If you notice damp or wet stains on the ceiling of your property, there is a huge possibility of a leak. If not, it could be because of a leak from the water tank in your loft. 
  • Drips  
  • If you notice drips or moisture, especially when it is raining, then your roof is probably leaking. 
  • Moulds on the walls 
  • In many cases, moulds on walls outside your house could mean that the sun can’t reach the area. However, it could also mean a problem with your roofing or gutters. 
Once you determine that there is a leak on your roof, you should be quick on getting it fixed. If not, the problem might worsen over time and cost you a lot in the near future.  How are you going to deal with a leaky roof? Here are the steps: 
  1. Prevent water from causing more damage.  The very first thing to do if you notice pooling water in your ceiling is to get a bucket and catch the water by placing the bucket underneath. 
  1. Release the built-up water. Once the bucket is placed, release the built-up water by piercing a hole in the area where you see the bulge or dark spot. Some people might be hesitant about doing this step. However, creating a hole where water can escape will minimise the damage that the pooling water may cause. 
  1. Move furniture and other objects. It is important to move furniture, carpets, and other objects away from the area that could be affected by the leak. 
Roof Leak Repair  After doing the necessary steps of preventing the leak from causing more problems, now is the time to get your roof fixed to permanently stop the damage. Instead of just repairing the damage inside your house, the best solution is to get to the root cause of the problem and start the repair from there.  If you are not confident or you have no experience in repairing rook leaks, it is advisable to ask for help from professional contractors. Not only can they help you solve the problem, but they can also do it safely and hassle-free.
