Common Roofing Repair Problems
There are many reasons why your roof might leak and you'll need to call for an emergency service. Just because a roof leak appears in one location inside of the structure, doesn't mean it came from that location. Water seeks its own level so that if a leak occurs at the top of the roof, it could run down the interior of the structure unexposed long before it shows itself as a puddle on your floor. That's why at Roofer911, we use handheld infrared scanning devices to help find hidden moisture damages that lie under roofing materials, covered from the naked eye. With the right tools, technology and experience, you can be sure Roofer911 is going to solve your roofing problems quickly, efficiently and affordably.
If you have any roofing problems or leaks, these common roofing problems may be the culprit:
- Damaged pipe flanges
- Improperly installed ridge vents
- Storm damage
- Clogged/damaged gutters
- Exposed roofing nails
- Holes in roof from scaffold planks.
- Improperly installed valley Flashing.
- Roof flashings.
- Improper positioning of roof nails on an architectural shingle roof.
- Damaged Step flashings along walls
- Skylight flashing leaks
- Condensation Build-up
- Standing snow
- High winds
- Built up leaf debris and much much more!
Other Outside Sources that Are Most Often Blamed on The Roof.
- Sometimes, roofing leaks aren't roofing leaks at all-they are siding or window leaks. In some cases, heavy winds can blow water inside of damaged siding and create the appearance of a roof leak. When peeling, cracking, slipping or missing siding is allowed to deteriorate on your home's exterior walls; it can cause severe structural damages. Windows that are improperly sealed or installed can easily leak as well.
- Chances are, if you have a gutter system that hasn't been cleaned in the last six months, it might be the cause of future roof leaks. Many emergency roof leaks turn out to be caused simply by leaf debris built up in the gutter system. When gutters are allowed to clog and the water has nowhere to go, it may end up going behind the siding of your home. Even if you're gutters are regularly maintained, if they have the wrong slope they can be a continual source of water damage inside and out of the home every time it rains.
