LEAK DETECTION SERVICES

What are some common causes of roof leaks?

Regular roof inspections and timely repairs are essential to prevent or address these potential causes of roof leaks, ensuring the long-term integrity of your roofing system.

 

Here's a checklist of common factors that could lead to a roof leak:

  1. Damaged or Missing Roof tiles: Cracked, curled, or missing roof tiles can allow water to penetrate your roof.

  2. Flashing Issues: Improperly sealed or damaged flashing around roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights can be leak-prone.

  3. Clogged Gutters and Downspouts: Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow and seep under roofing materials.

  4. Valley Problems: Roof valleys are susceptible to leaks if they aren't adequately sealed or if debris accumulates.

  5. Aging Roofing Materials: Roofs deteriorate with age, making them more vulnerable to leaks over time.

  6. Punctures or Holes: Damage from falling branches, hail, or foot traffic can create openings for water.

  7. Improper Ventilation: Inadequate roof ventilation can lead to moisture buildup and leaks.

  8. Skylight Issues: Skylights can leak if their seals degrade or if they're improperly installed.

  9. Flawed Roof Installation: Poorly executed roofing installation can result in various problems leading to leaks.

  10. Roof Pitch: Low-pitched roofs may be more susceptible to leaks than steeper ones.

  11. Tree Debris: Overhanging tree branches can damage your roof and create pathways for water infiltration.

  12. Wildlife Damage: Animals like raccoons or birds may damage your roof, leading to leaks.

  13. Severe Weather: Storms, heavy rain, and wind can accelerate roof wear and tear, potentially causing leaks.

  14. Neglected Maintenance: A lack of regular roof inspections and maintenance can allow issues to worsen.
