How Water Gets In From Above
Colorado Springs sits in one of the most hail-prone parts of the country, and summer thunderstorms can drop heavy rain in minutes.
- Hail cracking shingles, skylights and window seals
- Ice dams after snow, when melt refreezes at the eaves and backs up under shingles
- Wind-driven rain past old flashing and windows during strong downslope winds
- Clogged gutters overflowing against the wall during monsoon-season storms
What To Do
1. Put buckets under drips and move belongings out of the way. 2. If a ceiling is bulging, keep people out of the room. 3. Tarp the roof only if you can do it safely. Do not climb onto a wet or icy roof. 4. Photograph the damage inside and out.
A roofer stops the leak. A restoration crew dries the attic insulation, ceiling and walls so mold does not follow.

FAQ
Roof Leak & Storm Damage FAQs
Is roof leak water damage covered?
Sudden storm damage often is. Leaks from a worn-out roof usually are not. Your insurer decides based on the cause.
Does wet attic insulation need replacing?
Often yes. Wet blown-in insulation compacts and holds moisture against the ceiling.
