Common Roof Issues That Cause Leaks
Before exploring the nuances of roof repair, it’s crucial to grasp the common causes of roof leaks:
Aged Shingles
Over time, shingles may crack, curl, or lose their granules, leaving the roof vulnerable to water intrusion.
Poorly Sealed Valleys: If the valleys where two roof planes meet aren’t sealed properly, they can easily let water in during a rainstorm.
Clogged Gutters
When gutters become clogged with debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt, water accumulation can occur. This standing water can eventually back up and seep beneath the roofing structures, potentially causing leaks and water damage to the interior of the building.Â

Cracked Flashing
Flashing, which consists of thin metal strips placed at transitions or joints on a roof, serves as a protective barrier against water infiltration. However, if these metal strips crack or break due to age, weathering, or improper installation, they can no longer effectively seal these critical points, creating vulnerable entry points for water penetration. This can lead to further roof damage and increase the risk of leaks over time.
Broken or Missing Tiles
Tile roofs are susceptible to damage such as broken or missing tiles, often caused by severe weather conditions or debris impact. These issues can create openings through which water may seep into the roofing structure, potentially leading to water infiltration and damage to the underlying materials. It is important to regularly inspect tile roofs for any signs of damage and promptly address any issues to maintain the roof’s integrity and protect the building from potential water-related problems.
Ice Dam Buildup
In colder climates characterized by sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfall, ice dams have the potential to form at the roof’s edge. These ice formations act as barriers, hindering the natural drainage of melting snow. Consequently, water accumulates, creating pools that may eventually seep into the home, leading to potential water damage and issues with moisture infiltration.
