Top 5 Sign of a Roof Leak:

1. Missing Shingles/Tiles
   One of the most notable causes of roof leaks is from missing shingles or tiles. Where there are gaps in your roof it is easier for water damage to occur. Make sure to always check your roof for signs of damage after a storm, and remember to contact the United Claims Specialists the moment you see any signs of residential damage.
2. Clogged Gutters
   The purpose of gutters is to draw water away from your roof. When your gutters are clogged it prevents water from flowing out and away from your roof, which can cause areas for rainwater can build up and result in water damage.
3. Condensation in Attic
   If you find condensation in your attic it could indicate that you have a roof leak, which is allowing water to seep through. It’s important that when you experience water damage, you call the experienced public adjuster at United Claims Specialists to ensure you get the best possible settlement to repair your water damage.
4. Debris Buildup
   Miami experiences heavy rainstorm throughout the year that can cause twigs, branches, leaves, and other debris to pile up on your roof. Over time, this can result in unnecessary stress to your roof and end up causing serious water damage.
5. Water Stains
   When you have a roof leak, signs of water damage can appear in other regions of your home. Finding darken spots on your ceiling or walls, especially after a rain storm, means that you have a roof leak and water is traveling down from your roof and getting into your drywall and interior.
