41.3 innormal precipitation a year

Manhattan's rain, by the numbers

Normal annual precipitation near Manhattan runs 41.3 inches, according to federal climate data.

A roof that's held up fine through a dry stretch can still fail once Manhattan hits its wettest weeks in June.

That seasonal jump is worth keeping in mind if a leak in Manhattan seems to appear out of nowhere.

Questions to ask a {city} roof leak repair company

  1. Can you find the actual source before you quote a repair, not just patch where the ceiling is wet?
  2. Is this a contained repair, or does it point to a bigger problem with the roof?
  3. Will you check the attic and insulation for existing water damage, not just the roof surface?
  4. What's your timeline if it's actively raining versus once it's dry?
  5. Do you offer a temporary tarp while a full repair is scheduled?
  6. What's covered by a workmanship warranty on the repair itself?
