How Water Gets In From Above
Water usually gets in from above during snow season or a heavy summer storm.
- Ice dams after snow, when melt refreezes at the eaves and backs up under shingles
- Heavy snow load stressing older roofs and flat sections
- Wind-driven rain during strong canyon and storm winds
- Clogged gutters overflowing against the wall
What To Do
1. Put buckets under drips and move belongings out of the way. 2. If a ceiling is bulging, keep people out of the room. 3. Tarp the roof only if you can do it safely. Do not climb onto a wet or icy roof. 4. Photograph the damage inside and out.
A roofer stops the leak. A restoration crew dries the attic insulation, ceiling and walls so mold does not follow.

FAQ
Roof Leak & Storm Damage FAQs

Sudden storm damage often is. Leaks from a worn-out roof usually are not. Your insurer decides based on the cause.
Does wet attic insulation need replacing?
Often yes. Wet blown-in insulation compacts and holds moisture against the ceiling.
