How to Find Where Your Roof Is Leaking
Water usually enters the roof uphill from where it shows on the ceiling, then runs along decking or rafters. Trace it from the attic with a flashlight during or soon after rain: follow stains and wet wood upward toward vents, chimneys, valleys and wall junctions, which are the most common entry points.

Storm Damaged Your Roof? What to Do Next
Stay off the roof and away from downed lines, contain any leaks inside, photograph damage from the ground, report the claim promptly, and get the roof tarped to stop further water entry. Then choose a roofer with a written contract and proof of insurance. In Texas, a contractor may not waive or pay your insurance deductible.

TWIA and Windstorm Certificates for Roof Work in Galveston County
In the Texas coastal areas where the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) provides wind coverage, roof work generally must meet the windstorm building code and be certified, usually through inspections by a Texas Department of Insurance appointed inspector, resulting in a certificate of compliance commonly called a WPI-8. Ask before work starts, because some inspections must happen before materials are covered.
