How To Find Roof Leaks
The first step to finding a roof leak is to head to your attic. Be careful while you’re up there and take a flashlight with you.
Look for moist, wet, or damaged locations first.
If it hasn’t rained in a while, it’s going to be tough to find a roof leak. It’s best to check during or directly after rain for the best roof leak detection.
If you cannot find any obvious indicator, next look for damages to your insulation. The insulation is likely diverting water away a few feet from the actual leak itself. Insulation damages much easier than wood, so you should be able to find the area near the leak without trouble.
Finally, you can look for spots of mold because mold loves moisture – And mold will persist after a rainstorm. So even if it’s sunny outside you can look for a ceiling leak.
