[Request service](https://www.a5homeservices.com/request-service?service=roofing&problem=roof-leak-after-rain) ## How should I request help with a roof leak or ceiling stain after rain? A stain that changes after rain needs assessment of the water source before interior repairs. A roofing provider can inspect the roof and related details; a photo alone cannot confirm the cause. ## Record the sequence Note when the mark first appeared, which weather conditions preceded it and whether it is growing. Include earlier roof work, skylights, additions or nearby plumbing. Describe observations without labeling the problem as a specific failed roof component. ## Ask for the diagnosis and repair scope Request an explanation of the suspected entry point and the proposed repair. Ask what is excluded and what happens if additional damage is found. Keep photos and written scope for your own records; A5 does not assess insurance coverage or promise a claim outcome. ## Keep people away from unsafe areas Do not climb onto the roof to document the request. If water is near electrical equipment or a ceiling appears unstable, keep clear and seek urgent qualified help. A5 is not emergency dispatch. Once the source is resolved, use a separate drywall request for the affected finish. ## Start with A5 Tell us what you have noticed and where your home is located.
