My Roof is Leaking. What should I do? (Part 4)

Are you asking yourself, "What to do?". The roofers at ABC Commercial & Residential Roofing are here to help you put your mind at ease. Having a leaky roof can be devastating to your health. We don't want you to worry. Now that the fall season is coming, we hope to give you some tips on what do to if you find your roof is leaking.

Please see our previous 3 parts before taking this next step:

Inspect the flashing.

Some roof leaks are the result of clogged gutters or downspouts, but we'll cover that next month. More often than not, leaks are the result of wear and tear, and sometimes damaged tiles or shingles. In other cases, the flashing around chimneys, vents, or roof projections is damaged and allows water into your home. Check the flashing; that is, the chimney, dormers, and vent areas. If the flashing is in poor condition, it may need to be replaced. If the sealing around the flashing is damaged, a generous application of roof tar may plug the leak. This can be easily repair, and you are now well on your way to getting your roof repaired.

We hope this series has been informative, and we welcome you to give us call. Even if you don't choose us, we are sure you are now better prepared to have a professional roofer give you an estimate. We will be back next month with the next tip. Please click on the tag "what should I do when my roof leaks" below to see the complete list. If by chance, you don't want to wait, we are happy to visit you and inspect the roof for you.
