Getting Those Roofing Leaks Found & Repaired ASAP

Roofing Remedies™ knows that roof leaks can spring any time any where. Finding the source of some roof leaks is easy. Others require rigorous detective work. The vast majority of roofing operates on the principle of gravity. Understanding the nature of gravity can be a big help in diagnosing a leaking roof. However, horizontal roofing boards can trick you. A leak may actually be eight to 10 feet sideways from where you see the wet ceiling or spot in the attic. Identifying the source and repairing roof leaks as soon as possible can save you money on your roofing repairs.

The roofing specialists at Roofing Remedies™ can quickly diagnose and repair your leaking roof. And, we're experts with repairs on both residential roofing and commercial roofing.

Common Problems Which Can Produce Roof Leaking

The Field of Shingles— An older roof may develop a leak in the roof field—the area of roofing shingles, slate, shakes, whatever, which makes up your roof. Missing granules, cracks, exposed nails or a nail that has backed itself out of the roof sheathing can create a leak that requires repair.

Valleys— The valley is a line where two roof planes intersect. In many parts of the country roofers use a metal flashing in the valleys. Some areas use rolled roofing. Other places simply lace the shingles together. Valleys can be big problems if the roofing shingles are not trimmed correctly. When you trim a roofing shingle for a valley you end up with a chisel point on the end of the shingle. If a second cut is not made to make this point like an arrow point, then water can travel along the top of the shingle and find its way inside your house.

Plumbing Vent Flashings— Many of the new vent flashings unite a rubber seal with an aluminum flashing. The rubber can fail in as little as 10 years. The flashing should dive up and under the roofing shingles that extend up roof from the middle of the plumbing vent. The bottom half of the flashing should be exposed and actually cover the shingles.

Chimneys— Another frequent source of a leaking roof, chimneys contain four different types of flashing. All must be right or you will have a leak. Plus, the counterflashing that goes into the brick mortar joint must be right. A hairline crack above the flashing can allow vast amounts of water to run behind the flashings. Look for soldered corners of flashing that might have broken or have holes.

Head Wall Flashings— Some roofs stop at a vertical wall. A metal roof flashing must be in place to direct water streaming down the wall away from the stopping point of the roofing shingles.

Wall Step Flashing— Often roof leaks occur along step flashings. These flashings are used where a roof climbs alongside a vertical wall. As each row of shingles is nailed, a step flashing is installed over the shingle next to the wall. Part of the flashing turns up on the wall and the other portion gets covered by the next row of shingles. Rust or holes in these flashings may develop.

Wind Blown Rain Leaks— Wind driven rain can also be a major problem that requires roofing repairs. Often enough, a good roof ravaged by extreme rain and wind will drive water up and under the roofing materials. Never underestimate the power of a sustained wind-driven rain.

Non-Roof Leaks— Sometimes you think you have a roof leak when in fact the roof is fine. Attic condensation is a prime example. High humidity can cause condensation and "rain" to fall in your attic.
