My Roof Is Leaking! What Should I Do?
If you have water stains that extend across your ceilings or are running down your walls, the source is probably a roof leak. Most roof leaks are similar in nature and are caused by the same types of problems. Common causes of roof leaks include:
- Blown-Off Shingles – Regardless of the material they’re made of, shingles are prone to lifting up due to high winds. Lighter materials suffer from this more than heavier, but even heavy asphalt shingles can peel up and blow away, leaving your underlayment and roof deck exposed to the elements.
- Bad or Leaking Pipe Flashing – The vent pipes on your roof sit underneath your roof material. They are usually well-sealed, but corrosion of the pipe flashing or the sealant can allow water to seep through to the interior.
- Chimney/Skylight Step Flashing – Chimney flashing can leak if high winds pull it away from your chimney or roof, or if the sealant is compromised. Skylights are trickier to diagnose. What looks like a leak can just be condensation. However, a cracked skylight or worn seals can allow leaks to form.
- Valleys – Valleys are the little gutters that run down interior angles on your roof. Flashing can be damaged by lifting tiles, fungus build-up or improper cleaning. Since the bulk of the rainwater is going to be channeled down these valleys by the laws of gravity, it’s imperative to be sure they are not damaged.
- Ice Dams – Ice dams form when melted snow refreezes on your roof. This creates a wall that won’t allow other runoff to drain into your rain gutters or otherwise leave your roof.
- Low Slope/Inadequate Roof Pitch – Low-slope roofs are susceptible to wind damage almost as much as flat roofs. They often don’t allow good runoff in regions that see a lot of rain. Ponds can form when rafters sag due to age and weight.
If you notice any of these signs, you should call Ideal Roofing and Exteriors – your roof repair specialist –to get the problem fixed immediately.
