5 Warning Signs Your Roof May Be Leaking

A roof leak does not always begin with water dripping from the ceiling. In many cases, the warning signs appear long before visible water damage becomes obvious.

Common signs include:

• discoloration on ceilings or walls

• peeling paint near roof lines

• musty smells in upper rooms

• missing or damaged shingles

• water around vents or attic insulation

Leaks often begin small and spread slowly through insulation, drywall, and structural areas before becoming obvious.

Texas storms, wind exposure, and seasonal heat expansion can create small openings that worsen over time.
