💧 "It's just a small drip…"
That's what most homeowners say right before a $15,000 repair.
Here's what happens when you ignore a small roof leak:
Week 1–2: Water seeps into your insulation, soaking it and reducing its effectiveness.
Month 1: Mold begins forming in your walls and attic — invisible and spreading.
Month 2–3: Wood rot sets into your sheathing, rafters, and framing.
Month 6+: Ceiling collapse risk. Structural damage. Interior finishes destroyed.
A small leak that costs $300–$500 to fix today can easily become a $10,000–$20,000 problem if you wait.
⚠️ If you've noticed water stains on your ceiling, damp walls after rain, or a musty smell in your attic — don't wait. Those are your roof asking for help.
