Roof Leak Repair in Palm Desert, California

The ceiling stain shows up after a rainy night. The water ran down the roof, found the weak spot in the flashing, and dripped into the attic. Roof leak repair in Palm Desert means finding the leak and sealing it before the next storm.

Signs Your Palm Desert Roof Has a Leak

• Water stains on the ceiling — the leak is dripping through the drywall
• Water stains on the attic sheathing — the leak is running down the roof deck
• Musty smell in the attic or the rooms — the moisture is trapped
• Peeling paint or wallpaper near the ceiling — the moisture is spreading
• Mold or mildew on the ceiling or the walls — the leak has been running for a while

Why Palm Desert Roofs Leak

The desert heat dries out the shingles and the flashing sealant. The shingles curl and crack, and the first winter rain finds the openings.

The tile roofs leak at the underlayment. The tile surface is not waterproof, and the worn underlayment lets the water in.

Preventing Roof Leaks in Palm Desert

• Check the flashing every spring — the heat dries the sealant

• Clean the gutters twice a year — the desert debris blocks the drainage
