Can You Name The Five Most-Common Causes of Roof Leaks?
Katelyn Lewis • May 7, 2025
How about one of the common causes? No cheating!
While we’ve been in a wee dry spell the last few weeks, we expect the rainstorms to start rolling through any day. It’s smart to brush up on your roofing knowledge ahead of the storm, in case you start noticing ceiling spots in your bathroom or a dripping sound from your attic.
So, we’re re-sharing this video of RETEX’s Josh Lewis reviewing the five most-common reasons why your roof may be leaking, and what you can do immediately.
Whether you’ve figured out the cause of the leak on your own or not, it’s wise to get a second opinion by a licensed roof expert who will assess your roof thoroughly. Give RETEX a call at 804-442-3314 – we’d love to help you solve the Mystery of the Leaky Roof.
