  1. Your home is the place where you get to rest after a hard day's work. If any part of the home has a plumbing problem, you will definitely not be able to rest easy. A plumbing Alhambra Ca is there to ensure that every part of your home is intact. Plumbers carry out all kinds of repairs - in your kitchen, bathroom, basement and even on your roof. If you have a leaking roof, you should have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the rest of the building. Repairing Leaking Roofs You should have your leaking roof repaired immediately since a small leak can end up causing the rafters and sheathing on the roof to rot. The wetness from the leak will encourage the growth of mold which can spread to the insulation of the roof thus damaging it. Signs Of A Leaking Roof You may not immediately know that your roof is leaking until you see water stains on your ceiling. You may also notice water stains on the walls. Once you see these signs, it is a good idea to call in a plumber to fix the leak before it gets worse. The plumber will first need to identify where the leak is and this activity usually takes time.

  2. Visual Inspection • If the home has an attic, the plumber can go up and check for black marks, water stains or mold. In case attic access is not possible, then the plumber will need to go onto the roof. • If there are things that are protruding from the roof such as chimneys and roof vents, then that is the best place to begin checking for the leak. The plumber can check for the leak around and below these protrusions. • Water Test Inspection • Sometimes it may still not be possible to identify the exact spot where the leak is coming from even from the roof top. The plumber Alhambra may need to ask someone to stay in the house while he pours water from a hose onto the roof. The water should be poured on the roof right above the stains that are on the ceiling or walls. • The person in the house should signal to the plumber when a leak appears. If the person is on the attic, he can push a nail through the hole on the roof to mark the spot. If this method does not expose where the leak is, the plumber will need to remove the shingles until the leak is exposed.
