I still have a leak in my roof from the last storm. How is the leak affecting the part of my home that I cannot see?

You are right. The water could be having significant effects on your home. Roof leaks can cause extensive problems and the repairs could become very costly.

• Roof – As the water enters your home via a leak in your roof, the water will usually saturate the roof sheathing of your home first. If this continues, over time the sheathing material could become soft and spongy. Worse, the moist wood could be an inviting environment for the wood fungus that causes a condition called wood rot. By growing throughout the wood, the fungus will destroy the strength of the wood, and the wood will no longer be able to support the weight load that it once did.
• Interior of Walls – As the backs of the pieces of sheetrock which make up the interior walls of your home get moist, mold spores will find those moist areas. There, they will grow and flourish into a full-scale mold colony. Once wet, the backs of your home’s walls have a very difficult time drying out completely between rainstorms. This moist environment will allow the mold to flourish, spread, and become a health hazard to your entire family.
• Structural Strength – As the water from the leak in your home’s roof stretches further into your home, the rafters, sills, and studs that comprise the framing of your home will begin to suffer. The moisture that accumulates in those areas will attract insects as well as wood fungus. If the leak is not repaired, the problem will continue to grow and will become a major concern as far as the overall strength of the home is concerned. 

What will it cost to have the roof repaired?

The cost of roof repairs can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. Each repair is different in that the working conditions vary, the material being used will vary, and the size of the repair can go from the size of a nail hole to the entire roof. If you are fortunate, when 1-800-Roofcare’s roofing specialist inspects your home, a split seam will be found, a piece of flashing will have come loose, or a couple of shingles will be missing. In all of those cases, the repair cost will be minimal.

If my home’s roof cannot be repaired, what options do I have?

If our team of outstanding roofers cannot repair the roof, then the only other solution will be to replace the existing roof. Because we are a full service roofing company, we offer a wide variety of roofing materials.

• Shingles – Asphalt shingles is a common roofing material in the area. This type of shingle offers a reasonably priced alternative, is relatively easy to install, and lasts up to twenty years or more, thus giving good value for the investment. Shingles come in a wide variety of colors and designs, giving you a chance to make a design statement through your choice of roofing material.
• Metal – Metal is a popular choice in the area, as well. Today’s metal roofing is far different from the silver metal that covered the roofs of our grandparents’ homes. New colors, new designs, and new application technology make metal roofs stylish alternatives for any home. Metal roofing can last up to fifty years with some metal roofs, like copper, lasting a hundred years or more.
• Tile – Tile roofing offers a long lasting product that provides a home with a different look. The dual layer system is constructed to provide thirty years or more of watertight protection. If you are changing from another roofing material to tiles, be sure to have your roof checked to see if it has the strength to support the additional weight.
