What to Do When Your Roof Is Leaking

While waiting for a professional to repair your leaking roof, consider these steps to minimize potential damage:

Identify the Leak Source Examine your ceiling and walls for water stains or damp areas and trace the water to find the source of the leak - if it’s safe to do so.
Protect Your Belongings Move furniture and valuables away from the leak to prevent them from getting wet.
Contain the Leak Place a container or bucket beneath the leak to capture water and prevent further damage inside your home.
Make a Temporary Repair If you can't get professional help right away, use roofing tape or a tarp to cover the damaged area (if it’s safe). Empty water-filled buckets regularly and safely puncture ceiling bubbles to prevent the ceiling from collapsing.
Document the Damage Take photos and document any damage caused by the leak to use in the case of a roof insurance claim.

How Long Can You Leave a Leaking Roof?

You should never ignore a leaking roof. Leaving a leaking roof unaddressed for an extended time can lead to significant harm to your home’s structure including damage to the walls, ceilings, insulation, and electrical wiring. Prolonged exposure to mold and mildew growth caused by a leaking roof can pose significant risks to your health and home. If your roof is leaking, contact Valentine Roofing as soon as possible.

Common Causes Of Roof Leaks in Seattle

Seattle’s long rainy season can quickly turn minor problems with your roof into major leaks. The following kinds of roof damage are the most common causes of leaking roofs in Seattle:

Damaged Shingles Missing, cracked, or curling shingles leave your roof susceptible to leaks, especially during constant rain.
Clogged Gutters Clogged gutters prevent drainage and allow rainwater to pool against the roof and seep through cracks and worn spots in your shingles.
Damaged Flashing Cracked, loose, or rusted flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys compromises the protective seal of the main penetrations in your roof and can quickly cause leaks.
Damaged Fascia or Soffit Cracked, rotting, or deteriorating soffit or fascia allow water to penetrate behind structural overhangs during rain storms often leading to leaks inside the home.
