How do I check for a roof leak after a San Antonio storm without going on the roof?

Walk each room and look for new ceiling stains, bubbling paint, wet insulation smells, drips, and breaker trips after rain. From the ground outside, look up at chimneys, flashing, gutters, and downspouts. Take dated photos and call a licensed contractor — do not climb a wet roof.

Is a small ceiling stain after a storm urgent enough to call a contractor?

Yes, when more rain is forecast. A small stain can become drywall, insulation, electrical, and framing damage by the next storm. Calling early lets a licensed contractor isolate the path and contain the scope before the next rain round.

Why is one licensed general contractor better than calling separate trades?

Storm leaks rarely affect just one trade. CSW Power Solutions routes drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and restoration through one accountable scope so the leak path, related damage, and rebuild sequence stay coordinated instead of getting handed between vendors.

Can CSW handle the drywall, paint, and finish work after the leak is stopped?

Yes. As a licensed San Antonio general contractor with in-house plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, CSW Power Solutions can sequence water mitigation, drywall, paint, and finish work so the homeowner is not coordinating four crews on their own.

What information should I have ready when I call CSW about a roof leak?

Photos with dates, the rooms affected, when the symptom started, whether breakers tripped after rain, and any visible exterior issues you can see safely from the ground. That lets CSW route the right trade first instead of guessing on arrival.
