The leak is at an interruption in the metal: a failed screw washer, an opened seam, or a broken flashing. Knowing which one tells you whether you need a screwdriver or a roofer. The…
Updated: October 2026 A roof leak starts causing damage within hours, not weeks. Water soaks insulation and ceiling drywall within the first day, mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours, and wood rot follows within weeks if the leak keeps going.

A ceiling stain tells you water arrived. It rarely tells you where the water got in. Water enters at one spot, runs along the decking or a rafter, and drips somewhere else. Chasing the stain itself is why so many repairs get patched in the wrong place. You can narrow the search a lot from…
