There’s a water spot on your ceiling!  What exactly does that mean about the condition of your roof? Actually, it can mean several things. Water spots on the ceiling don’t automatically mean the roof is leaking. The water spot could be caused by windows, condensation, plumbing, or even condensation on the plumbing pipes.  However, if the spots only appear, darken, or grow in size after it rains, a leaky roof is most likely the answer.

If you do determine that the water spot is caused by a leak it can be tricky to pinpoint. A slow leak is much harder to locate than a big leak.  This is compounded by the fact that water doesn’t necessarily drip straight down. It can travel along roof panels or lumber in the attic before dripping onto your insulation and leaving the water spot on your ceiling far from the source. When it comes to roof leaks, you’ll definitely want to enlist a roofing specialist to help track down the cause of the problem.
