Common Roof Problems We Fix
Roof Leaks
Leaks can result from damaged shingles, flashing failures, roof penetrations, or ventilation issues. We locate and fix the root cause.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Strong winds and aging shingles can expose your roof to water damage. We replace damaged shingles and secure weak areas.
Flashing Repairs
Damaged or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, walls, skylights, and vents is a major cause of leaks.
Ventilation Problems
Poor attic ventilation can lead to heat buildup, moisture, mold growth, and ice damming. We inspect and recommend proper solutions.
Roof Flashing Repair
Flashing, usually metal, seals the joints where the roof meets something else: a wall, a chimney, a skylight, a valley or a plumbing pipe. Shingles shed water across the open roof. These joints are among the most common leak points.
Where flashing fails:
- Step flashing along a wall or dormer, where each piece is woven in with a row of shingles. If a piece is missing, water can get behind the wall cladding. Siding set tight against the flashing can also hold water against it.
- Chimney flashing, where the base flashing on the roof meets the counter flashing set into the brick. When the mortar joint opens up, water can get in behind both.
- Valley flashing, where two slopes meet and carry the most water on the roof.
- Skylight flashing, around the frame of the skylight.
Signs of a flashing problem: a ceiling stain near a chimney or an outside wall, flashing that has lifted or pulled away, rust, or a thick bead of roofing caulk where a metal piece used to be. Caulk smeared over a failed part is a short-term patch. It dries out and cracks through freeze and thaw, and the leak comes back. The lasting repair is to lift the shingles around the joint, replace or reseat the flashing in the right order so each piece laps over the one below it, and seal the shingles back down.
Roof Vent and Pipe Boot Repair
Every vent and pipe that comes through the roof is a hole that must be sealed.
- Pipe boots are the collars, usually rubber, around plumbing vent pipes. Sun and cold make the rubber crack, often years before the shingles wear out. A cracked boot lets water run down the outside of the pipe into the attic or a bathroom ceiling.
- Roof vents can crack, lose fasteners in a windstorm, or sit on a base that was never sealed under the shingles above it.
A leaking boot or vent is usually a small repair: the shingles above it are lifted, the old part comes out, and a new one goes in, sealed and lapped under the shingles above it as its maker specifies. If the leak has run for a long time, the roof deck around the hole may be soft, and that wood must be replaced as part of the repair. Vents also do a job inside the attic. If the attic gets damp or the roof grows big icicles, read about attic insulation and ventilation before a vent is simply swapped.
How a Leak Is Traced
Water often does not come through the ceiling right under the hole in the roof. It can run along the roof deck, the rafters or the top of the insulation, sometimes several feet, before it drips. That is why a patch over the wet spot so often fails.
- Start in the attic, if you can get in safely. Stay on solid framing or boards, never on the drywall or the insulation, which can hide wiring and gaps. If the attic is not easy to move around in, leave this step to a roofer. On a dry day with a light, look for dark wood, rusty nail tips, damp insulation and water trails on the rafters. Follow the trail uphill.
- Match it to the roof. The highest wet point often lines up with a joint on the roof above: a pipe, a vent, a valley, a chimney or a wall.
- Rule out the look-alikes. Frost on nail tips that melts on a warm day, condensation, an old stain from a leak that was already fixed, and an overflowing eavestrough can all look like a roof leak from inside. Ice dams at the eaves can push water under the shingles. That is a real leak, and it often comes from house heat warming the roof, so the fix can include air sealing, insulation and ventilation, not only the shingles.
- Repair the source, then check the damage. Once the entry point is sealed, the wet deck, insulation and drywall are checked so nothing is closed up wet.
Repair or Replace?
Not every leak means a new roof. A repair makes sense when the damage is in one place: a blown-off patch of shingles, one failed pipe boot, one flashing joint. A roof replacement makes more sense when the problems are spread out:
- Shingles are curling, cracking or losing granules across most of the roof, not only in one spot.
- There are leaks in more than one place, or the same area keeps leaking after repairs.
- The roof deck is soft or sags in several areas. Do not walk on a roof you think is soft: have a roofer check it. A sag can also mean a problem with the rafters or trusses under the deck, which needs a structural check.
- The roof is near the end of its life, so money spent on repairs only buys a short time.
- The shingles around the damage are too brittle to lift and tie a repair into.
If the deck under a repair has rotted, the bad boards are cut out and replaced before new shingles go on. See roof plywood replacement for how that part of the job works.
