The most common roof repair is due to roof leaks. Unfortunately, roof leaks aren’t always easy to spot, once a roof leak occurs, a water spot appears on ceilings or walls and by then the damage has been done. Let AMG Roofing Specialists inspect your roof for damages and make the necessary roof leak repairs to prevent future roof leaks.
Shingles
Shingles are a popular roofing material and are inexpensive to replace. Loose shingles or shingles not properly affixed to the roof can lead to roof leaks. A strong gust of wind or storms such as hurricanes can leave the roof exposed and promote roof leaking.
- Blistering is the result of moisture being trapped in the asphalt or the roof is not properly ventilated. These hot spots can leave the roof vulnerable to leaks.
- Shrinking occurs when the roof membrane shrinks causing the shingles and flashing to pull apart. This can cause cracks, blisters, and splits that let water pass through the roof damaging the house structure.
- Curling is where shingles curl up at the edges as a result of improper ventilation, installation, or age.
- Cracking or thermal splitting is caused by defects, improper installation, extreme weather conditions.
Flashing
Flashing is the aluminum wrap that is installed along the roof’s protrusions whose job it is to divert water. Flashing helps to prevent roof leaking, rotting, and pooling. Damaged flashing can lead to roof leaks or damage to gutters, attics, and ventilation systems. Proper roof maintenance can help roof experts prevent future flashing roof repairs.
Installation Quality
Installation Quality can be a huge factor in the type of protection a roof gives to the structure of a home. Often, these repairs are covered under warranty. Common installation problems are:
- Nails under or over driven.
- Too much caulking or tar used.
- Using incorrect or poor-quality materials.
- Wrong placement of materials such as flashing and vents.
A Weakened Roof
A Weakened Roof can be the result of a myriad of damage. Popular causes of weakening in the roof are storm damage, hail damage, tree limbs damage, or sharp object punctures. Storm damage repairs should be completed immediately.
