How a Roof Leak Starts

Roof leaks can be caused by a variety of reasons and many roofs exhibit several of these features at the same time, making it difficult to diagnose the true leak problem. It takes much more than making a few patches with some tar to fix a roof leak for good. Knowing how a roof leak starts is the first and foremost task in repairing any roofing problems. But unless you’re a leak finding pro, it’s going to be tough to find and repair leaks before they have a chance to start. That’s why the Roofrepair.link leak finding trouble shooters recommend that you have your roof inspected by a professional twice a year to pinpoint minor roofing problems now before they have a chance to turn into an emergency roof leak repair. Although it’s never a good idea to climb a ladder yourself, you can easily spot the following areas that are commonly known to leak from the safety of the ground.

Even if minor damages are present and a roof leak hasn’t happened as of yet, it’s a good idea to tackle the problem long before rain or snow have a chance to enter the structure. While these minor repairs might not seem like a big deal and you feel you can wait for repairs, you couldn’t be more wrong. Once a penetration has been made through the roofing membrane, moisture can enter the structure easily as warm air seeps out of the leak and mixes with cooler outside air. Condensation can occur and create a roof leak, even if it’s not raining.

Roof Leaks can be Hazardous to your Wallet Too

Not only can these leaky roof threats be smelly, dangerous and deadly, they can also be very expensive to replace. In some extreme cases, water penetration through a roof leak can cause so much damage that it would be cheaper just to demolish the structure and rebuild the entire building than it would be to remove and replace the black mold, fungus and mildew damages.
