The Rochester, NY, region is known for its severe winter weather and unpredictable weather at other times of the year. Where it concerns residential roofs, the weather can cause a lot of problems. So can several other things.
Felgemacher Roofing & Siding provides swift roof leak repair throughout Rochester, NY, and all of Monroe County, NY. Here are some things you should know about roof damage and the roof leak repair process.
8 Reasons for a Leaky Roof
Here are eight of the most common causes of roof leaks we see in the Rochester, NY, area:
- Severe roof damage from lightning strikes, hail, wind and falling trees
- Damaged or missing shingles or roofing tiles
- Dislodged or missing flashing around pipes, vents, skylights, chimneys and roof valleys
- Roof deterioration caused by ice dams

What a Leak Can Do to Your Rochester NY Roof
Felgemacher encourages all of our Rochester, NY, customers to let us know about roof leaks immediately so we can get started with timely roof leak repair. We also encourage them to schedule annual roofing inspections so we can spot early signs of leaks and damage.
If left unattended, a leaky roof can cause ongoing damage to the shingles, underlayment, decking and truss system of the roof. It can spread and begin affecting the attic, ceiling, walls, flooring and other parts of the home.
Beyond the structural damage, a leaky roof can start a mold growth, often in areas of your Rochester, NY, home that you can’t easily access. This “hidden” mold can spread and end up in the air that you and your family breathe.
Inspection Before Roof Leak Repair
The first step in dealing with a leak is a thorough roof inspection, which will tell us:
- Exactly where the leak is happening
- What caused the leak
- If related damage has occurred in the roof or parts of the home
- The best roof leak repair methods to stop the problem
