SOS Contractors

Before you go to bed tonight, take a quick look at your ceiling.

With heavy rain expected today, tomorrow, and Saturday, this is when a lot of homeowners discover leaks they never knew they had.

The first signs are usually:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Dripping in the attic or garage
• Gutters overflowing or pulling away from the house
• Water spilling over clogged gutters
• Wet spots around your foundation
• Missing or damaged shingles after the storm

One tip that can save you a headache: if you notice anything unusual, take pictures immediately. If the damage gets worse or you need to file an insurance claim, having photos from the beginning can make the process much smoother.

One thing many people don’t realize is that water can travel several feet before it finally shows up as a stain inside your home. The spot where you see the leak often isn’t where the water is getting in.

If you’re not sure whether your roof or gutters made it through the storm, comment “Rain” below and we’ll schedule a free roof and gutter inspection. No pressure—just an honest look to help catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

Hopefully everyone makes it through the storms without any issues. Stay safe this weekend.
