- Windowpanes Can Be a Problem:
Although built in windowpanes can really add dazzle to a
home and let in natural light, when not built properly they can cause a lot of
problems. If they are too old or haven’t been updated recently, they can easily
let water into the home.
Flashing is the most common reason that roofing will get
leaks. Sometimes flashing is poorly installed which makes it highly susceptible
to leaks. If it’s not the installation, it could be a bad quality product or
perhaps affected by high winds or weather damage.
Think about how long you’ve had your roof for. How many
years has it been? How good of a job did the last contractors do? Roofs that
were built fifty years ago were made with much different materials and were
much less durable than what is used today.
- Check Your Closures and Shingles
Material such as roof fasteners can easily become damaged or
pulled up after a heavy storm or high winds occur. When the fasteners get
pulled up, water is easily able to get into the underside of the roof itself
and cause other problems.
Many roof leaks are caused by poor workmanship and less-than-professional
contractors. To avoid the entire issue, never hire someone without first
checking that they have successfully completed roofing projects similar to
yours in the past and that their previous customers were satisfied.
