Leaky Roof in Vancouver? Here’s What to Do This Rainy Season

If you’ve discovered a leaky roof in Vancouver, you’re not alone. The rainy season hits hard across the Lower Mainland, and aging or damaged roofs often don’t hold up. Acting fast can prevent thousands in damage — and keep your home safe and dry.

Common Reasons You Might Have a Leaky Roof in Vancouver

Heavy rain, clogged gutters, and aging shingles are the perfect storm. A few of the most common causes we see include:

• Cracked or missing shingles

• Poorly sealed flashing

• Debris blocking drainage

• Moss buildup weakening the roof surface

• Flat or low-slope roofs pooling water

Signs Your Vancouver Roof Is Leaking

Not every leak is obvious. Be alert for:

• Yellowish water stains on your ceiling

• Dripping sounds inside after a storm

• Musty smells or visible mold in the attic

• Soft drywall or bubbling paint

What to Do When You Spot a Leak

1. Contain the water (buckets, towels, etc.)

2. Take photos for insurance documentation

3. Avoid electrical areas where water may be dripping

4. Contact a trusted roofer immediately
