Roof Leak Repair in Brazoria County, TX

Water rarely comes in right above the stain. It can travel along decking and rafters before it shows up on a ceiling, so a roofer usually starts in the attic and around flashing, valleys, vents and skylights. Gulf Coast rain often comes sideways with wind, which can push water under shingles and ridge caps that stay dry in a normal shower.

While you wait: put a bucket under the drip, move furniture and electronics, and if water is near a light fixture or ceiling fan, switch off that circuit at the breaker. If a ceiling is sagging with water, keep people out of the room.

Leaks left alone in a humid climate can lead to rotted decking and mold, so it is worth having even a small one looked at.
