Maybe during your springtime maintenance, you might come across a few missing shingles or notice a leak stain on your bathroom ceiling. When it comes to a roofing leak, you have options available to you. People sometimes question if they require a new roof due to a leak, and the answer always varies. The age of your current roof, its warranty (if it exists), and the scope of the roof leak will determine the subsequent steps. In any case, the first step is always to have the issue examined by a reputable roofing company.
Depending on the extent of damage to your roof causing the leak, such as a few missing shingles or a significant issue, it will determine your next course of action. Sometimes, a simple roof repair is sufficient, while other times it’s worth contacting your insurance company to see if your roof qualifies for a replacement. Finally, in severe cases, a new roof is the best option.
