What effect will roof leaks have on my home?

Water that has worked its way through your roofing system and into your home is never a good thing. A simple leak allowing as few as ten drops a minute can cause extensive damage to your home.

• Structural damage – Continuous exposure to water can cause wood to attract wood destroying insects as well as the wood fungus that causes wood rot. Both insects and wood rot greatly diminishes the strength of the affected timber. If the problem is not remedied, at some point that portion of the home’s framing will have to be replaced.
• Mold – Mold thrives in those conditions where an area is often moist. Areas like the back of sheetrock, and interior petitions are places where mold can grow undetected, and spread its way throughout your home. It is very important to prevent any moisture from entering through your home’s roofing system.
• Damaged Interior – When water reaches the walls, ceilings, and woodwork of your home, it leaves behind stains and markings that are hard to cover. If enough water reaches the sheetrock that makes up your walls and ceilings, those sections could need to be replaced. Additionally, if enough water gathers in the sheetrock of a ceiling, the sheetrock could soften and collapse.

It is always best to contact 1-800-Roofcare at the first indication that water is penetrating your home’s roofing system, and prevent as much interior damage as possible.

How expensive will it be to repair my roof?

Roof repairs can vary widely in price. What seems to be a major leak on some types of roof systems can be resolved in just a very short time with a sealant of some kind. Other, much smaller leaks on a tile roof for example, could take hours to locate the source, pull off the tile, and repair the surface of the roof beneath the tile. That is why we always have our roofing specialist meet with you, inspect the problem area, and then give you a report as to how the problem can be corrected.

The second concern is whether the roof of your home can be repaired. There comes a time when a roof has come to the end of its useful life, and must be replaced. We will make that recommendation only when the cost of current repairs will exceed the cost and benefits of a new roof.

What would be the options for a new roofing system?

If your roof does need to be replaced, we will provide you with several options. Quite often homeowners will simply replace an old roof with one using the same materials. That usually is acceptable, but as a homeowner you should explore other viable options.

• Asphalt shingles – The majority of homes in this area have asphalt shingles. This system has been used by homeowners for decades. Today’s selections have a wide assortment of colors and design. This is one of the lower priced roofing systems available, and should last around twenty years.
• Tile – Tile is rapidly becoming a favorite roofing system. The lifespan of a tile roof can exceed thirty years. If you go the expense of having a tile roof made of slate or other similar material, your roof could last a hundred years or more.
• Metal – Metal is also becoming popular. No longer is metal roofing limited to silver corrugated metal. A homeowner today has dozens of colors from which to choose, plus a wide selection of metal designs with some that look like asphalt roofing shingles. Steel, aluminum, and copper are the most common metals used. Stell and aluminum roofing have life spans that often go beyond fifty years. Copper roofing will last for hundreds of years.
