Roof leaks can be caused by a variety of things. Storm or hail damage, damage from falling tree limbs, damage by people walking on your roof, old or worn out shingles, cracked or sun damaged shingles...the list goes on and on. But, 90% of all roof leaks are caused by improper installation or defective metal flashing. The actual roofing product rarely fails. Flashing is found near any roof penetration area like chimney areas, step, apron and valley areas where roof angles join together. During a roof repair, it’s necessary to look for any other roof damage that could lead to additional problems. If leaks are not addressed, the structure of your home may be weakened because the building frame continues to be exposed to dampness.

In addition, roof shingles that are installed poorly or nailed incorrectly may need to be addressed. If roof shingles are missing, these will need to be replaced too.

Clogged gutters can also be a cause of roofing problems. Water can overflow the back of the gutter and leak along the walls and inside the home. Additionally, flue pipes inside of a chimney can cause water to leak if they’re not properly aligned.

It’s very important that homeowners check their roof for needed repairs regularly. Most opt for spring because of the fair weather and due to the fact that spring storms and heavy rains make you think more about the integrity of your roof! The fair weather in Texas allows you to replace or repair roofing products year round, so don't wait for the problem to cause any damage.
