Call as soon as you notice any signs of water intrusion—water stains near your fireplace, dampness in the chimney area, or actual dripping during storms. The earlier you address a leak, the less damage it can cause and the less expensive it is to fix. Don’t wait until you see major water damage or structural problems. By that point, what could have been a straightforward repair has often become a major restoration project involving damaged framing, insulation, or interior finishes. If you’re not sure whether you have a leak, it’s worth having an inspection. Many leaks start small and aren’t immediately obvious, but they’re doing damage behind the scenes. A professional inspection can catch these problems while they’re still easy and affordable to fix.
