Water will travel the path of least resistance and can travel for a while before finally revealing itself through your ceiling. You can check your attic crawl space the next time it rains to try and trace the source of a leak, or leaks. However, this can be quite dangerous because there are multiple hazards throughout your attic.

Musty/bad odor coming from the walls or ceilings.
The presence of mold in the attic or ceiling.

The time spent working on your roof will depend on various factors. The size and scope of your project are taken into consideration during the planning process. If you have a standard sized roofing system at your property, roofing solutions can be completed in three days. By rule, the bigger the project, the longer it will take for professionals to restore your roofing system to its pre-loss condition. After closer inspection on your roof, an experienced roofer will discuss specifics and provide you with an estimated completion time for the job.

The best way to pick the right roofing contractor is by word of mouth and past referrals. Make sure to choose roofers that mainly service your area or city to avoid any hassle, stay clear of the out of town roofers. Before you sign an agreement, make sure to do a thorough background check on the company. Unbiased reviews online or from past clients will give you an insight whether you can entrust a roofer to deliver great service and results.

Avoid roofers that offer no deductible roof replacement options and other too-good-to-be-true offerings. Make no mistake, these roofers are taking major shortcuts on your project and making you think you're getting the best deal around while they aren't giving up a dime. This is also insurance fraud. Not paying your deductible and or profiting from an insurance claim is insurance fraud.
