I have a leak in my bathroom ceiling. The only way I can fix it myself is by going to the roof and that is impossible. I cannot reach the spot thru the attic. Do I have to go to thru a roof repairer and spend lot of money for this? Can you advise me if I leave it like this is there chances of incurring into bigger problems?
Our Answer
A leak will most definitely lead to bigger problems, including major structural damage. You know the saying, “a stitch in time saves nine”? It applies here! It is well worth the cost of hiring a roofer. If you are afraid of getting ripped-off, we have two options. One is to get a home inspection. You can find an ASHI certified home inspector in your area at ASHI.org. This inspector will have no stake in your repair, and will be able to give you an honest assessment on your roof and many other parts of your home. If the leak is caused by a plumbing problem, for example, and not a roof leak, an inspector would probably be able to tell you that. The second is to visit a site like AngiesList.com or HomeAdvisor.com and get local recommendations for good roofing companies.
