It is now time to look for hidden damage
A roof leak does not start overnight. It is developed over time. Which means that water was collected on spot for far too long and went unnoticed for some time. Once it enters the living space, you know that the ceiling and the attic will have moisture. You now should check the the attic hidden damage caused by the leak. You want to be aware of wet spots on the roof planks or panels. Also look for discolored wood, damaged OSB panels, strange odors and possible dirt on the insulation. While inside the house, check the water bulges on the walls and on the ceiling. Signs of peeling paint, cracked plaster or wallboard, are indications that you may need more than just a roof repair.
Don't be discouraged. The fact that your roof is leaking is not your fault. We are glad you have taken the first step in getting your roof repaired.
