It’s important to make sure that your roof isn’t leaking. Although a small leak might attract comments like, “it’s really not worth the effort” or “it’s too small to be any real problem,” the truth is that even smaller damage can become disastrous over time. A small leak resulting from a hail storm hitting an older roof can easily lead to more extensive damage over time, including the rotting of the decking and underlayment or the leak getting bigger and damaging your home over time.

Keeping your roof from leaking is a little challenging, but you can possibly do it even without the help of a roofer:

· The initial process of detecting the leak is the most difficult. For that, you might want to check both outside and inside. By checking where the water ends up and doing some research on the structure of the roof, you can easily find out where the leak has originated.

· Even if you find the leak relatively quickly, and it’s pretty small, it’s important to avoid underestimating its destructive power. If the leak is a little old and your area has a lot of precipitation, then it’s important to check for damage to the internal structure of your roof.

· Once you find the leak, it’s time to fix it or at least cover it up. However, you will need to make sure that the repair is sturdy enough. If you’re unsure on how to do that, or you have no experience with roofing, choose the safer option and contact your local Centennial roofing companies to do it for you.
