Roof leaks are storm leaks. Summer squalls and tropical storm remnants push rain sideways under lifted shingles, past worn flashing at chimneys and vents, and through spots where wind has opened the roof. The water soaks attic insulation first, then spreads along the ceiling drywall until it stains, sags or drips into the room below.

- Damp or matted insulation in the attic
- Water marks on rafters or roof sheathing
- Drips at light fixtures or along an exterior wall
How the damage is dried
A roofer or the homeowner tarps the opening first so the drying is not undone by the next rain. The restoration team then pulls wet insulation, drains a sagging ceiling safely through a small hole, removes drywall that cannot be saved, and dries the attic framing, ceiling joists and the room below with air movers and dehumidifiers.
Roof leak or plumbing leak?
Water that appears only during rain usually comes from the roof. Water that shows up in dry weather points to plumbing; see ceiling leak water damage. Ready.gov hurricane tips cover roof prep before storm season, and the National Weather Service flood safety page explains storm hazards.
