For leaking roofs, immediate identification and repair are imperative to prevent severe damage to a home or business.
Late spring through summer is the perfect time to contact a professional roofing contractor to inspect and assess the condition of a roof, including the extent of any damage. A professional can also recommend the necessary work needed to repair a leaky roof. Putting off the repairs of a minimally damaged roof can lead to more extensive damage. Once the temperature starts heating up in the attic and in the area above the ceilings, residential and commercial property owners could end up with dangerous mold growth.
Unless there is extensive damage, the chances are good that a reliable, professional roofing contractor can repair the problem rather than recommend a complete tear-off and roof replacement.
Residential leaking roof repairs
A home’s roof can leak due to damage caused by wind, hail, or debris. However, leaks often develop because roofing material cracks and breaks down as it ages. As a result, there may be extensive granule loss, missing shingles or tiles, or failure of the seals around roof penetrations such as vents and chimneys.
For many homeowners, poor roof design can speed up this process. For others, installing, repairing, or deteriorating skylights, rooftop AC units, and solar panel mounting systems can allow moisture to penetrate through the underlayment or into the attic.
Homeowners may see signs of leaks, such as stained drywall or bubbling paint on the ceiling or walls. They may even detect a musty odor. But, in many cases, the problem remains undetectable for months or years. The damage will likely be more substantial and costly in that case. In residential housing developments, many homeowners report that homes of similar construction will require a roof repair or replacement within a relatively short window of time.
Commercial leaking roof repairs
If there is a roof leak in the office, retail store, or commercial facility, property owners face the genuine possibility of damaged merchandise disrupting business operations if the problem progresses.
A reliable commercial roofing company can repair all commercial membrane roofing materials, including PVC, TPO, and synthetic rubber (EPDM). They should also be able to handle metal, polymer, and built-up roofing and repair, including bitumen, coal tar, asphalt, and gravel.
Professional roofing contractors will work for commercial clients to minimize the damage and disruption of business operations, employees, and customers.
Roof inspections and maintenance to avoid roof leaks
Having leaking roof repairs performed as soon as possible will extend the life of a roof and ensure the structural integrity of a home or commercial building. That’s why expert roofing contractors recommend conducting an annual roof inspection.
These inspections allow them to identify and fix minor problems before they become significant issues. We can also help the property owner plan and budget for the future by letting them know how much life the roof likely has left.
Residential and commercial property owners can benefit from regular inspections, prompt repairs, and careful consideration when adding or repairing roof-mounted objects. Contact a licensed, reliable contractor for information about specific roofing needs.
