It always starts quietly. A faint tick above the ceiling. Then silence. You tell yourself it’s nothing, maybe the house settling. But something feels off. The attic air is colder than it should be. There’s a strange dampness near the hallway vent. Your eyes keep drifting to the same corner of the ceiling. You can’t shake the feeling, and you’re right not to. This is how roof damage begins, not with a crash but with a whisper. And by the time it shows itself, the real damage is already done. If you know what to look for, you can catch it early and avoid costly roof repair down the line.
