Roof repairs and replacements are some of the most dreaded home repairs for a homeowner. In South Florida, heavy rains and adverse weather tend to highlight the need for roof solutions faster than in some other areas of the country. There are a number of potential signs that you may be experiencing water damage on your roof:

1. Mold growing in rings
2. Discoloration on the ceiling
3. Water accumulating
4. Changes in the texture of flooring
5. Odors from the walls

While the issue stems from the roof, you may spot these roof water damage signs on the floors, walls, ceilings, attics, the home’s foundation or exterior, and even around your appliances. The key to handling a roof suffering from water damage is to address the issue immediately. Putting off dealing with roof damage can lead to massive problems in the future, including the most drastic problem of the roof caving in.

First and foremost, it is important to ensure that safety measures are taken immediately following the recognition of roof water damage. This means putting buckets down to catch dripping water. Next, you must determine if the leak is actually coming from the roof. Then, you need to consult with a roofer to determine the best course of action. Finally, contact a water damage restoration specialist to handle the issues that were caused by the leak.
