Common Sources of Roof Leaks

Damaged shingles are commonly to blame for roof leaks. During big storms, shingles may go flying away or get damaged by falling tree limbs. Cracked or missing shingles can allow water to start dripping inside the house. Our roofing team can complete shingle replacement in little time and at an affordable rate.

Cracked vent pipes are another common source of roof leaks. Regular wear and tear can cause vent pipes to crack, allowing leaks to form. On your roof, you’ll also want to make sure that corroded flashing isn’t causing your roof leak. Also, the metal stripping on skylights is often to blame for leaks. Our crew can inspect your skylights to make sure they aren’t a roof leak liability.

It’s also worth noting that clogged gutters can cause water to spill over onto your rooftop, at which point it may accumulate to the point that it finds its way inside. This makes it important that you have a properly functioning gutter system that can carry away large volumes of water. Also, you should complete semiannual gutter maintenance to make sure that water is being effectively channeled away. Gutter guards can be helpful with keeping debris out of your gutters.
