Roof leaks can happen for a variety of reasons. While they often result from wear and tear over time, certain conditions make roofs more prone to leaking. Here are some of the most common causes:
If you notice signs of a roof leak, it’s essential to act quickly to prevent further damage to your home. Here are steps to take:
Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Regularly clearing debris ensures water flows away from your roof properly.
Branches can scrape your shingles or fall during storms, causing roof leaks. Keep trees trimmed back to prevent physical damage and debris buildup.
Professional roof inspections can detect small issues before they become major roof leaks. We recommend a full inspection at least once a year.
Minor cracks or lifted shingles can quickly turn into roof leaks. Addressing repairs early prevents water intrusion and more costly damage later on.
Damaged flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys is a top cause of roof leaks. Regularly check and reseal these areas to stay leak-free.
Installing leak-resistant shingles and underlayment offers extra protection against roof leaks—especially in Florida’s harsh weather conditions.

As soon as you notice a leak, it’s essential to act fast. Water damage can spread quickly and cause costly repairs if left unchecked.
If possible, find the source of the leak inside your home. Check for any visible water stains, drips, or wet spots on your ceiling or walls. It might help to trace the leak upward to its point of origin on the roof.
Place a bucket, bowl, or towel under the leak to catch the water. This can help prevent further damage to your flooring, furniture, or personal items. If the water is coming through your ceiling, consider placing a plastic tarp or covering over anything below it.
Move any valuables, electronics, or furniture out of the path of the water to avoid further damage.
If you’re able to do so safely, consider using roofing tape, a tarp, or a waterproof covering to temporarily seal the leak. This can help reduce the amount of water getting inside until professional help arrives.
Call P&A Roofing or a trusted roofing company immediately. Our team will come out quickly to assess the damage and provide an expert solution. Roofing issues can escalate if not addressed by a professional.
Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need to file an insurance claim. We can help you document the damage and work with your insurance company to ensure you get the coverage you need.
If the leak is severe, and the ceiling is at risk of collapsing, leave the area immediately. Never attempt to climb onto your roof to inspect the damage yourself unless you have the proper training and equipment.
Over 90% of all roof leaks are caused by improper installation or lack of maintenance—not just storms. Catching a roof leak early through regular inspections can save thousands in repair costs. At P&A Roofing, we help homeowners prevent costly damage with expert roof leak detection and repair.
