Preventing Roof Leaks before They Start

Once you’ve stopped the roof leak, it’s important that you keep more roof leaks from taking place. Keep an eye out for potential problems like the ones listed above and be sure to keep leaf debris and branches off of your asphalt shingle roof and out of gutters. Never use harsh abrasives, snow shovels or pressure washing on your shingles as this can easily cause more roof leaks than it prevents. It’s also a good idea to keep trees trimmed back from the structure at least six feet. When swaying branches blown by the wind rub against shingles; it’s a roof leak waiting to take place.

Make Certain a Complete Roofing Inspection takes Place - A roof inspection is much more than just a quick look at the shingles or using a garden hose to find a roof leak. It involves inspecting every aspect of your roofing system to pinpoint hidden roofing concerns and stopping roof leaks now—as well as prevent future roof leaks to come. Many roof companies will want to have a complete roof replacement done to your Simcoe, Ontario roof. While a complete replacement is sometimes necessary; it’s not always the case. Many times, small and more cost effective roof repairs can be made to prevent roof leaks and extend the lifespan of your existing shingle roof. Be sure that your roofers look at more than just the shingles. An experienced roof leak trouble shooter will look for damaged soffit, fascia, drip edge and roof flashings as well as chimneys, skylights plumbing pipes and ridge ventilation to ensure roof leaks are cured for good. Windows, doors and gutter systems can sometimes harbor roof leak woes as well and should be inspected along with the rest of the roofing system to make certain that all of your now and future roof leaks are kept at bay.

This is because the continual motion of a windy day may make swaying branches rub against roofing materials and wear holes into the surface of the shingle, ensuring a roof leak takes place without your knowledge. Tree branches aren’t the only problem either. Leaf litter can build up in valleys, behind chimneys and around skylights. This allows two dangerous roofing problems to take place. One, water flow may be blocked and force water to enter between shingles and into your attic space. And two, water can cause leaf materials to rot and wood fungus to grow on shingles, ensuring their timely demise.

Monthly Maintenance Checklist

  • Remove leaf debris from roof valleys, against skylights and behind chimneys
  • Clean gutters and downspouts from all debris
  • Sweep soffits and fascia clean and clear of all spider webs, dirt and grime
  • Cut all tree branches at least six feet back from the entire structure
  • Keep vines and other landscaping trimmed away from windows, doors, soffit and fascia
  • Ensure proper drainage is in working order around the drip line of your roofs overhang
  • Perform a visual inspection of all roofing materials
