Category: Roofing - Topic: Buy Home Water Stain
When buying a house, be sure to inquire about water stains on any of the ceilings. When the home is inspected, home inspectors look for visible defects which are accessible at the time they inspect the house. If water stains are visible, this indicates current or previous leakages in the roof. To satisfy any concerns about the reliability of the roof, a careful examination is needed.
If the repair history can demonstrate that leak issues were addressed you have less reason for worry; however, if stains are present and the owner has not addressed the roof leaks, a second opinion consultation with a roofing expert is needed.
