Roof Leak Symptoms

Check your roof regularly for any of these roofing troubles; especially after strong rain, wind or snow storms. Be sure a licensed, insured and experienced roof leak trouble shooter takes care of any problems before they get too difficult to manage.

• Blown Off, Broken or Missing Shingles
• Bent Ridge Ventilation
• Lead Plumbing Pipe Boot Damages
• Heavy Stains Around Skylights/Chimneys/Roof Valleys
• Rusting and Corroding Flashing
• Decomposing, Cracking or Splitting Sealants
• Overflowing or Leveled Gutters
• Loose Satellite Dishes
• Improper Attic Ventilation
• Winter Ice Dams
• Evidence of Black Mold, Wood Fungus or Mildew
• Fogging Window/Skylight Panes

It’s not just tree materials either. Shrubs and vines that clog gutters, block soffit ventilation and creep under drip edge can cause a variety of roofing troubles that will age shingles significantly. Be sure you keep all landscaping materials planted and trimmed back at least six feet from the exterior and roof of your dwelling to keep roof repair costs low and shingle lifespan high.

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.
