Why Does a Roof Leak?
A well-built roof with quality materials will not leak. At least not when it’s fairly new. But with the harsh weather we deal with in the greater Rochester, NY, area, every roof will eventually begin to fail. The key is getting on top of the failure and solving the problem as soon as it starts.
Roofs leak for a variety of reasons. Here are five of the most common causes of a leaky roof:
- Shingle deterioration and missing shingles
- Falling trees and damage from storms
- Destructive ice dams forming on parts of the roof
- Damaged or missing flashing around vents, skylights, the chimney, and other components
- Incorrectly sealed roof valleys
Don’t Ignore a Leaky Roof
It’s a good idea to schedule periodic roof inspections, even if there’s no obvious problem. Our roofing technicians can spot early signs of wear, aging, and damage that you might miss, and then get to work quickly to solve the problem before it progresses.
Once a roof begins to leak, it will only get worse. Over time, a small leak can turn into a catastrophic leak that damages your roof’s decking, underlayment, and truss system. When this happens, you may be dealing with damage to the attic, walls, and ceilings before too long.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Felgemacher is ready 24/7 to respond after a storm has damaged your roof. Our first step is to tarp the roof to keep out stormwater. We’ll then inspect the roof and recommend how to address the problem. Our recommendations might include:
- Isolated roof leak repair
- Shingle replacement with top-grade Owens Corning asphalt shingles
- General or extensive repairs of the roof’s structure
- Installation of a new roof
