When you have a leak in your roof it’s not easy to find out where it’s coming from. A lot of times if the joint seams are faulty, then you may notice that the leaks are occurring there. Leaks can also occur at the edges of the roof in the edge metal.

fallen debris

Especially common during very bad storms, when a tree branch or other windborne object smashes into your home through the roof, then that will qualify for emergency roofing repair. Rain, insects, and other critters can make their way into your home through the hole, as well as extremely low temperatures.

damaged roofing shingles

Different types of storm damage can lead to broken or missing shingles. When shingles are damaged as well as the flashing, then water is able to find its way more easily into the house because it is not properly sealed. Hail damage is also a common culprit of roof damage because it can chip away at the tiles. Call us right away if you notice torn-off shingles and flashing.

improper installation

Unfortunately, sometimes a roofing emergency will arise because of poor craftsmanship. If you had your roof repaired or installed by a storm chaser, which is a roofing company that offers emergency roof repair services after a really bad storm, then, unfortunately, it’s likely that you were scammed by a fake roofing contractor. These are scammers who may not have the proper licensing and insurance to run a legitimate business, and because of that, they cannot attract legitimate, professional contractors to their roof repair team. So they will hire people with very little experience who will work for very little money, and the customer always pays the final cost.

high winds

Storm damage can leave your home vulnerable to the elements. As the exterior of your home, your roof’s most important job is to protect you and your family inside as well as all of your possessions. But that means it’s going to take quite a beating at times, and when the winds are very high it can tear off shingles as well as roof decking.

prevention

It’s best to prevent emergencies so that you do not find yourself in a perilous situation. We highly recommend that you get your roof checked by a professional roofer before the wet, snowy season so that way any vulnerabilities in your roof can be addressed. This is very important because if there are any seams that are open or other places where water can leak in, then it is going to be very hard to prevent issues when there are several inches of snow on your roof. Once water gets inside the house it can start affecting the attic and the basement. In the attic, you may start to notice a musty smell.

Another thing that you can do to protect your roof is to go around your house after bad storms and check the ceiling in every room, including the closets. Look up to see if you can find any signs of water leaking into the house, such as orange or brown circles or stains on the ceiling. Checking the ceiling throughout your house is an effective way to catch problems before your next professional check-up by a roofer.
