Tips For Identifying A Leaking Roof

Contents

Finding A Roof LeakGiven the fact that water that infiltrate from the roof often travels along pipes and beams, in most of the cases  the leak will not happen right above where it enters from the roof. As such, identifying the leaking area is not always easy.

However, this is not a problem to ignore, if you want to prevent structural damage, so here are the best things to do to identify the leak and be able to make the necessary repairs in the right time.

Carefully inspect your roof after each storm or heavy rain. Look for damaged roofing materials, as well as for signs of water infiltrations in the attic. Do not ignore what seems to be only cosmetic exterior damage, as even the smallest dent or scratch is a vulnerable area, when it comes to the roof.

Also look for signs of mold formation, because in most of the cases it indicates that you have a roof leak. Mold is difficult to get rid of, until you fix its source (moisture resulting from the roof leak), therefore as long as you have it, you know that there is something wrong.

A roof leak (especially a hard-to-find one) can also be detected by using a moisture meter, or by looking for bubbling or peeling paint along the walls.  Many of the roofing companies, as does https://www.roofonemichigan.com/west-bloomfield-roofing-experts-roof-one-llc.html, have tools to help in detecting roof leaks.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
