Note 01How long can you leave a leaking roof?

A small, steady drip in one spot, caught in a bucket, can usually wait a few days for a proper repair. A leak running inside a wall between levels cannot wait long, because it is wetting framing and insulation you cannot see. Water near a light fixture or a sagging ceiling cannot wait at all.

Note 02Who to hire to fix a roof leak?

A roofer who traces the entry point before fixing anything. On a split-level the stain is often a level below the cause, so ask how they will find it, and whether they check the wall line of the level above, not just what they will charge.

Note 03Why does my roof leak in heavy rain?

Because the water is getting in somewhere that only floods in a downpour or wind-driven rain: a wall line between levels where rain is blown sideways under the flashing, a valley that overflows, or a skylight curb. Note the wind direction when it happens; it narrows the search.
