Deciding whether to call a plumber or a roofer depends entirely on weather conditions and the presence of overhead plumbing lines. If the leak occurs during or immediately after heavy rainstorms, snowmelt, or ice damming, and there are no bathrooms or water pipes located above the room, call a professional roofer to inspect roof shingles and flashing. However, if the leak happens during dry weather or if an upstairs bathroom, laundry room, or supply pipe runs directly above the ceiling, call a licensed plumber to inspect internal pipe leaks. Verification: Inspect attic spaces and upper-floor plumbing to identify whether the water source is exterior weather or interior plumbing.
