Everyone wants and needs a safe, comfortable place to live. Many home repairs can be completed in a do-it-yourself weekend project. But, there are some repairs that shouldn’t be a DIY project. One of the most dreaded home repairs is a damaged, leaky roof because finding and repairing a leak isn’t always easy.
Some of the obvious symptoms of a roof leak is discolored or sagging sheetrock, peeling paint, or an obvious drip. But, even a small unnoticed leak can cause damaged insulation, cause mold growth, and wood framing to rot. And a leak can travel and spread from the initial damaged area to a different part of your home.
Most roof leaks are caused by pretty common conditions that damage your roof.
Your roof never has a good day and Aging is inevitable. All roofing materials are subject to extreme weather conditions, like rain storms, freeze/thaw cycles , extreme temperatures, intense summer sun, which will eventually cause premature aging as well as cracking and curling of the shingles.
Brick chimneys seem sturdy, but the mortar holding the brick together and the other elements, like the flashing and chimney crown, can be easily damaged. Cracks, rust, and punctures can let water into the attic area.
Missing or damaged shingles can easily cause a leak. Usually, replacing individual shingles isn’t a big deal, but not taking the time to have it repaired can lead to more damaged shingles and more expensive repairs.
The Vents on your roof system have exposed fasteners , will sustain cracks, continue to weather and age over time. This is a minor repair but often a common source of leaks because most vents will not out live the life of the roof.
The plumbing boot slides over a pipe to protect the junction between the pipe and the roof. And like vents and flashing, the boot can be damaged and crack and sealant can fail. The repair isn’t unusually difficult, but damage can be easy to miss.
Holes, big and small, can result from storm damage, high wind, and hail. Some holes are really obvious, while others they can be there for years until an inspection uncovers them. Even tiny holes resulting from misplaced roofing nails, removal of an antenna or dish mounting bracket, or impact related cracks in roofing materials can let in water.
A complicated, intricate roofline may be very attractive, but it is also harder to waterproof. Each joint, valley, and slope must be properly sealed. Installing and maintaining additional leak barriers may be an extra (and sometimes expensive) cost.
Gutters, if they aren’t cleaned and repaired regularly, can cause problems. Rainwater can back up behind a blockage and seep under the shingles rotting the wood underneath.
Standing water can also damage older gutters.
Skylights present some of the same problems as chimneys and pipe vents. In addition to potential damage to the flashing, the rubber or vinyl seals around the skylights can dry out and crack, at this point the skylight needs to be replaced
Ventiliation issues can cause moisture to build up in your attic and this can present itself similar to a roof leak. Roofs must have adequate intake and exhaust ventilation to properly clear warm air and moisture from your attic space. This can cause wood rot, mold and damaged insulation and has potential to be a very costly repair.
The best defense against roof leaks is proactively scheduling an annual roof inspection and fast action as soon as you think you may have roof damage. Maybe a new roof is in the future. But, repairing even a small, out-of-the-way drip needs to be a priority until then.
Having a reliable, dependable roof repair company that homeowners can count on is a priority, too.
In the metroplex we deal with a variety of weather-related issues on a regular basis. Since your roof is the most important part of your home, Rapid Roof Repair is here to help you recover from damage incurred resulting from wind, rain, ice or snow. In addition to weather, storms result in structural and roof related damage due to fallen trees, limbs or punctures.
While Asphalt Shingles, Tiles or wood shingles are manufactured and installed to withstand all kinds of weather, they have their limitations. Strong, whipping winds caused by a thunderstorm can get under shingles ripping them off your roof in an instant. This leaves you with an exposed area that can then cause further damage if left unchecked. Even if you don’t see missing shingles or exposed areas on your roof following a storm, it is very important you request a thorough roof diagnostic. Many times, the shingles will get peeled back by the wind and then lay back down concealing areas on the roof where shingles have failed sealant strips, nail tearing, torn underlayment, and exposed decking. This can make the roofing material even more susceptible to future leaks or even more extensive damage during the next storm.
When was the last time you gave your roof a tune up?
All things need cleaning and maintenance in order to function efficiently, and your roof is no different. Though easily overlooked, your roof is your home’s first defense against the elements and as such, often receives the toughest beating. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the fluctuating temperatures, coupled with heavy tree coverage and heavier rainfall means your roof has the potential to fail sooner if not maintained properly.
Common materials like asphalt shingles, wood shakes, or concrete tiles all suffer from common trouble areas, like around skylights, vents and chimneys. Typically, these trouble spots can be attributed to damaged flashing and sealants that are supposed to keep water out. Over time, normal weathering, moss and tree leaves can cause damage to the flashing and the shingles themselves. Shingles can crack or break and allow water into the roof layers underneath and eventually leak into the home or business.
To protect a homeowner or business owner’s investment, the National Roofing Contractors association recommends that your roof be extensively inspected AT LEAST once a year- if conducted correctly an inspection and regular maintenance program will not only add years to the life of the roof, but it will detect minor problems before the damage is widespread and costly.
As noted above, the NRCA recommends an annual inspection and maintenance. This may or may not apply to YOUR roof. The following are some factors to consider to determine if your roof needs an inspection:
