What has caused my home’s roof to suddenly start to leak?

Unfortunately, roofs eventually leak. There are many reasons for that, but here are a few:

• Storm Damage – One of the most common reasons for a roof to leak, no matter its age, is damage caused by storms. Strong winds can lift shingles and even pull them completely off the roof. Wind can also pull pieces of flashing loose, creating openings for water to enter your home. Additionally, overhanging branches and limbs can be torn loose by strong winds. The impact of those objects striking the roof of your home can cause damage that will create holes in the roof’s surface.
• Animal Damage – Pesky squirrels can eat holes in to the roofing of your home as they seek a convenient shelter to nest or store their food.
• Age – Just the wearing away of the roofing materials that have protected your home for so long can cause a roof to leak. Shingles get brittle and break away, metal will rust or be pulled away, and tiles will break and allow water beneath them. No matter what roofing material you have, age eventually catches up with it, and your roof will need replacing. 

In which roofing materials does 1-800-Roofcare specialize?

Our experienced roofing teams work with a wide assortment roofing materials. Whether you are in need of a roof repair or a roof replacement, here are some of the materials with which we work:

• Asphalt – Our roofers work with both asphalt rolled roofing as well as asphalt shingles. Rolled roofing is a traditional roofing product, used often on low profile or flat roofs. Shingles are used on steeper roofs and provide a wide assortment of colors and designs.Asphalt roofing can last up to twenty years or more.
• Tiles – Tile systems come in a variety of materials. Slate, once a common roofing tile material, is now coming back in popularity. It is a product that needs to have a roof with a strong support system because of the weight involved. A properly installed slate roof can for last generations. Other tile systems use clay or cement tiles as the outer covering.
• Synthetic Rubber – On flat roofs, synthetic rubber materials are now being used. Synthetic rubber comes in slightly different chemical compositions. The right one for your building can be determined by our roofing specialist.
• Metal – Metal is an attractive option for this area. Metal roofs are usually made of aluminum or steel. The product comes in a variety of colors, designs, and applications. A metal roof can last up to fifty years, and a copper roof can last for a hundred years or longer.

What concealed damages will be caused by this new leak?

When water enters a home through a leak in the roof, it will be able to find its way to various hidden cavities throughout your home. From there, the moisture that is retained can cause you problems.

• Mold – Mold loves moist areas in a home where it can grow undisturbed. The cavities behind your interior walls are perfect locations for mold to grow, thrive, and expand throughout your home. Because these areas do not dry out between leaks, the moisture that is there creates that perfect place for mold.
• Wood Deterioration – Constant moisture to untreated wood can cause wood to decay rapidly, attract wood destroying insects, and give wood fungus a great place to develop. None of these will be seen by you because your home’s wood framing is covered by some other material. So while you think everything is fine, the roof leak is causing major problems for your home.
