APlus specializes in roof leak repairs throughout Brunswick.
A leaky roof can be more than just an inconvenience; it can lead to significant damage and higher repair costs if not addressed promptly. Understanding the common causes of roof leaks can help you take the right steps to protect your home.
Common Roof Leak Issues:
- Missing or Damaged Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, broken, or missing can allow water to seep through the roof.
- Damaged Flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can deteriorate over time, leading to leaks.
- Clogged Gutters: When gutters are blocked with debris, water can overflow and seep under the roof’s edge.
- Improper Roof Installation: If the roof was not installed correctly, it can lead to leaks and other issues.
- Worn-Out Roof Seals: The seals around roof penetrations, such as vents and skylights, can wear out and become ineffective.
- Ice Dams: In colder climates, ice dams can form on the roof, causing water to back up and leak into the house.
- Roof Valleys: Valleys are areas where two roof planes meet and can be prone to leaks if not properly sealed.
- Old Roof Age: Roofs have a finite lifespan, and older roofs are more susceptible to leaks due to wear and tear.
- Roof Ventilation Issues: Poor ventilation can lead to condensation and leaks in the attic.
- Punctures or Holes: Punctures from debris or animals can create entry points for water.
What to Do Next:
If you suspect a roof leak, it’s crucial to address the issue quickly to prevent further damage. While some minor repairs might be manageable, more complex problems are best handled by a professional.
