Charlotte Home Inspector Finds Leaking Roof

Roof leaks are a nuisance for many homeowners. They can be difficult to diagnose - that is a fact. To make matters worse, different weather conditions will produce leaks in different locations. The vast majority of roof coverings operate using the principal of gravity. This can be a big help in locating a leak source. However, horizontal roof boards can trick you. A leak may actually be eight to 10 feet sideways from where you see the wet ceiling or spot in the attic. Finding the source of some leaks is easy. Others will require detective work and possibly a garden hose and an inside spotter. If you dont feel comfortable on a roof, you will have to find an honest roofer to assist you. Sometimes this can be as hard as finding the smallest leak! http://www.askthecharlotteinspector.com/ http://www.homeinspectioncarolina.com/
