How Can You Find Roof Leaks?
Contrary to popular belief, inspecting the roof for leaks doesn’t require experience or tons of equipment. Visually assessing your roof is often enough to determine if it has leaks and where the leaks are coming from.
One of the easiest ways to find leaks in your roof is to use a flashlight and climb up to your attic. Generally, leaks from the roof will leave puddles and water stains on your ceiling (which are more visible from your attic).
If you can’t find any roof leak from your attic, go outside and create rain. Simply go to the roof, spray the area where you suspect there is a leak with a garden hose and have someone notify you once they see a drip inside.
Why Do Roofs Leak?
There are many reasons why roof leaks occur, but the most common is missing or damaged shingles. Shingles provide durability and structure to your roof. Without them your roof will be prone to moisture, which can eventually lead to leaks.
Other reasons why your roof could be leaking are damaged flashing, roof slope issues, and attic condensation. A roof that is at least 20 years old is also more susceptible to leaks.
How Do We Fix Leaking Roofs?
Once you’ve confirmed that your roof has leaks, contact professionals right away. A leaking roof is dangerous for many reasons. For one, a leaking roof can cause mold and mildew, which can trigger health issues, such as rhinitis and nasal blockage to the family.
To ensure that your roof remains in tiptop condition, contact us the moment you need roof leak repair services. Aside from inspecting your roof through the attic, our team will also climb up to your roof to check the condition of your shingles. We will also assess the appearance of your exterior walls by checking for any excess moss, mold, and fungi.
In short, we will carefully inspect every area of your home to determine the overall condition of your roof. From our assessment, we will decide whether your roof needs repairs or replacement.
If it’s the latter, our team will:
- Remove and replace damaged roof vents
- Tear off old roofing shingles
- Remove the old roofing paper
- Mark and cut away the damaged roof deck
- Cut new roof deck patch
- Run the first row of shingles until your roof is complete with new shingles
Although it can be tempting to repair or replace your roof on your own, it’s always best to hire professionals to do the job. We have the equipment to properly install brand new roofing or repair your roof, so it continues to function safely and effectively. Using DIY solutions to solve your roofing problems can result in injuries, accidents, and
more out-of-pocket expenses.
