Roof Leaks: Why You Should Never Ignore Them and How to Fix Them Properly


A small roof leak might not seem like a big deal at first. But over time, even a slow drip can cause serious damage to your home — from soaked insulation and rotting wood to mold growth and structural issues.


At Aftermath Contracting, roof leak repairs and the damage they cause are something we deal with far more often than most homeowners realize.




What Causes Roof Leaks?


Roof leaks can be caused by:




  • Damaged or missing shingles




  • Failing flashing around vents and chimneys




  • Ice damming




  • Clogged gutters




  • Cracked roof seals




  • Storm damage




Sometimes the leak shows up far away from where the actual roof problem is, which makes professional inspection important.




The Hidden Damage You Can’t See


Even if you only see a small water stain on the ceiling, water may already be:




  • Inside your walls




  • In your insulation




  • On your framing




  • In your ceiling cavities




This can lead to:




  • Mold growth




  • Rotting wood




  • Weakened structure




  • Expensive repairs later






Why Fast Professional Repairs Matter


Waiting too long can turn a simple repair into a major restoration project.


At Aftermath Contracting, we don’t just patch the surface — we:




  • Find the true source of the leak




  • Repair the damaged areas




  • Dry affected materials




  • Repair ceilings, walls, and insulation




  • Restore everything properly
