How Urgent is the Repair?
Keeping your roof in good repair is a top priority, but when should you repair it immediately, and when can you wait?
-
If you are experiencing an active leak, immediate action is needed to prevent further damage, such as patching or temporarily covering the area with a tarp until a more comprehensive repair is possible.
-
If you detect damage early through inspection, maintenance, or personal observation, you may be able to wait to schedule your repairs if the damage is minimal and the weather conditions are favorable.
Roof inspections are a great way to stay proactive in maintaining your roof's integrity. When you detect damage early, scheduling a repair is easier and more affordable.

The Most Common Roof Leaks
Regular inspection and maintenance of these areas can help identify and address potential leaks before they cause significant damage to the roof and interior of your home.
Roof Flashing
Flashing is installed around roof penetrations such as chimneys, skylights, pipes, vents, and dormers. Leaks can develop if the flashing becomes damaged, corroded, or improperly installed.
Shingles
Damaged, missing or incorrectly installed shingles can allow water to penetrate the roof substrate through exposed nails, leading to leaks.
Roof Ventilation Systems
Leaks may develop near vents and exhaust pipes if the flashing is damaged or inadequately sealed. To address this issue, we often add a waterproof membrane to seal roof protrusions effectively.
Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged or damaged gutters and downspouts can cause water to overflow and seep under roofing materials, leading to leaks.
