The Truth About Roof Leaks

Your roof is one of your home’s first line of defense against rain, snow and ice. A properly installed roof will help eliminate leaks in your home and protect you against weather all year round.

While many roof leaks are a simple repair, figuring out where a roof is leaking can be a more difficult task. Many customers believe the source of a leak is directly above where the moisture is coming from, but often it can be dripping down a rafter from somewhere else or caused the accumulation of condensation. We can help you determine the source of your roof leak and help you repair it.

A roof leak can be caused by a number of things. A few of the main sources of roof leaks are:

• Missing, cracked or loose shingles, tiles or seams
• Damaged or deteriorated flashing, seals and caulking
• Improper attic ventilation, which can cause moisture through a buildup of condensation
• Improper installation of valleys, flashing, shingles, collars, etc.
• Ice Dams, which prevent proper run off and force water to back up beneath shingles
• Ponding water
• Exposed nail heads
• Skylight flashings
• Wind driven rain
• Built up debris, which can trap moisture and accelerate deterioration
