Repairing the Invisible
Guess what? Not all roof leaks are visible! You may not see water spots on the ceiling, but water may be hurting your roof in other ways at this very moment. It may not be as simple as noticing missing shingles either.
Unfortunately, if you have an aged roof (10-20 years), the granules have started to fall off due to the natural drying of the asphalt layer.
When the granules are missing, it exposes the fiberglass mat under the shingles. The fiberglass mat is not waterproof, and you could be developing a slow leak in the boards under your shingles.
When Do You Need Roof Repairs?
It is possible to repair a roof system rather than replace the roof in its entirety. However, regardless of whether the problem is as minor as a few missing shingles or as large as a leak around your chimney, it is essential to get it checked as soon as possible. Delays often result in an exponential increase in repair expenses. We handle all kinds of shingle and metal roofing repairs.
If you notice any of the following, give us a call.
- Interior damage from a roof leak
- Missing shingles
- Rusted or screws that are lifted
- Old roof - if your roof is older than 15-20 years, oftentimes this is the time when repairs/maintenance is required
