A small ceiling stain after rain can be easy to dismiss, particularly if it dries out and does not return straight away. Yet water entering through a roof can travel before it becomes visible indoors, and the source may be some distance from the stain. Promptly investigating a leak can help homeowners understand the cause, limit further damage and decide what repair work is needed.

Common Signs of a Roof Leak
A leak is not always a steady drip from the ceiling. Early signs may include brown or yellow stains, bubbling or peeling paint, damp plasterboard, mould-like smells, or patches that appear after heavy rain. You may also notice moisture around a skylight, chimney, vent or the point where an extension joins the original building.
