Seeing a yellow or brown ring on your ceiling is the first sign that your roof's integrity has been compromised. Because water often travels along rafters or trusses before dripping onto drywall, pinpointing the actual roof failure requires a professional diagnostic approach — which is exactly what the inspection request process is designed to start.
In Charleston homes, stains can show up long after water first enters because moisture travels through the attic before appearing on drywall or plaster.
