How We Approach Roof Leaks
Roof leaks can lead to a chain reaction of damage, starting with water seeping into the attic, causing mold growth, structural damage, and eventually ruining walls and ceilings, so finding and fixing them fast is crucial. Steele Restoration is committed to not only locating leaks but also tackling their underlying causes to prevent them from coming back. Our team performs thorough inspections to find weak points and assess the extent of water damage. We work with various materials—from asphalt shingles to slate, metal, and even decorative copper—so no matter your roof type, we have the knowledge and tools to perform a reliable repair.
When addressing a leak, we don’t just patch the visible areas. We also check your roof’s integrity, evaluate potential issues like improper flashing or compromised underlayment, and recommend solutions that keep your roof strong in the long term. If there’s a chance your insurance can help cover the repair costs, we’ll work directly with your provider to simplify the claims process and maximize coverage.
Here are seven common signs that indicate you may need roof repair:
- Leaky Roof: Water stains on your ceiling or walls are a clear indication of a leak in your roof. Over time, even small leaks can cause significant damage if not addressed promptly.
- Missing or Damaged Shingles: If you notice shingles that are missing, cracked, or curled, it's a sign that your roof may be compromised. These issues can expose the underlying layers to the elements, leading to further damage.
- Sagging Roof: A sagging roof may indicate structural issues, often caused by water damage or the deterioration of supporting beams. This can be dangerous and should be inspected immediately.
- Granules in the Gutters: If you notice an excessive amount of granules from asphalt shingles in your gutters, it means your shingles are wearing down and losing their protective coating, making your roof more vulnerable to damage.
- Moss or Algae Growth: While moss and algae are not necessarily harmful, their growth can signal moisture retention on the roof. This can lead to shingle deterioration over time, especially in shaded or humid areas.
- Cracked Flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights helps prevent water from entering your home. If the flashing is cracked or deteriorated, it can allow water to seep into the roof and walls.
- Age of the Roof: Even if your roof appears to be in good condition, if it’s older than 20 years, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Consider having it inspected to ensure it’s still structurally sound.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact a roofing professional to assess the situation and perform necessary repairs before the damage worsens.
How Can I Prevent Roof Damage?
Preventing roof damage involves regular maintenance and being proactive about potential issues. Here are some tips to help you keep your roof in good condition:
- Regular Inspections: Inspect your roof at least twice a year (spring and fall) and after major storms. Look for damaged shingles, leaks, or any other signs of wear and tear.
- Clean Gutters: Clogged gutters can cause water to back up onto your roof, leading to leaks or water damage. Clean gutters regularly to ensure proper drainage.
- Trim Overhanging Branches: Tree branches that hang over your roof can cause damage during storms or if they fall. Trim any overhanging branches to reduce the risk of roof damage.
- Check for Moss and Algae: Moss and algae can grow on roofs, particularly in shaded areas. These growths can cause moisture retention and lead to roof decay. Clean them off with appropriate roof-safe cleaners.
- Ensure Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup in your attic, which can lead to mold, mildew, and roof deterioration. Make sure your attic is properly ventilated.
- Fix Leaks Promptly: If you notice a leak or water stains inside your home, address it immediately to prevent further damage to your roof and interior.
- Check Flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can become loose or damaged over time. Inspect and repair flashing to ensure it's secure and properly sealed.
- Choose Quality Roofing Materials: If you're installing a new roof or replacing an old one, choose high-quality materials that are suited to your climate. This can increase the longevity of your roof.
- Avoid Walking on the Roof: Walking on the roof can cause damage to the shingles or other roofing materials. If necessary, hire a professional for repairs or inspections.
By following these tips, you can help extend the life of your roof and prevent costly damage.
