Top Ten Common Roofing Problems
Rook Leaks
Possibly the most common roofing issue most homeowners encounter is a roof leak. It is often caused by cracked flashing (Flashing: those thin, weatherproofed pieces of metal that are designed to keep water out) to broken shingles, tiles, or slate. There are nearly as many causes as roofs.
Pooled Water
When water begins to pool or form little ponds on top of the roof, it can cause problems in the long run. A particular worry when it comes to flat roofs, the solution is to form tapered areas over the roof’s surface. Those slopes will allow the water to run off, keeping your roof free from water damage.
Shrinkage
When a roof material shrinks, it can lead to a host of other difficulties, such as deterioration, cracking, and pulling apart of critical components like flashing. Shrinkage particularly affects roofs covered with EODM ( a synthetic rubber membrane ) and all other roof coverings. The professionals at GOOD Roofing have decades pf experience performing flat roof repairs. If you’re worried about shrinkage or simply need your roof inspected for signs of shrink-related damage, give us a call today.
Cracking and Blistering
Over time, roofs can develop cracks, blisters, and ridges. Your chances of seeing such damage depends on the type of roof you have installed. Built-up roofs are roofs made of several layers that cover a relatively flat surface and are particularly susceptible to cracking and blistering. It goes without saying: If a tree limb crashes into your roof, you’re in trouble. However, even if the branches rub against your roof daily, they can scratch the surface and wear down the top layer. At the very least, it’s safer for your roof if trees are trimmed so no limbs are resting on top of your home. At the very most, you might consider removing any trees that pose a danger to the integrity of the roof.
Poor Installation
Choosing inexperienced or poorly qualified roofing specialists can cost you money in the long run. In fact, shoddily installed roofs remain one of the most common reasons for long-term complications and short life expectancy, and mold. GOOD Roofing has been in the business for years.
