Roof leaks can be a big problem for homeowners. Not only do they cause annoying drips, but they can also lead to serious damage like mold growth, water stains, and even structural issues. The good news is that many leaks can be prevented with proper roof care and maintenance.

One of the main causes of roof leaks is damaged or missing shingles. If your shingles are cracked or missing, water can easily find its way into your home. It’s important to check your roof regularly for any signs of damage and repair shingles as needed.

Clogged gutters are another common reason for leaks. Gutters are designed to carry water away from your roof, but if they’re full of leaves or debris, water can back up and pool on your roof. Make sure to clean your gutters regularly to avoid leaks.

Additionally, roof flashing, which is the material that seals areas around vents, chimneys, and skylights, needs to be in good condition. Cracked or damaged flashing can allow water to seep in, so regular inspections and repairs are key.
