We take roof leak detection seriously. Our roof contractors will let you know what could be causing the leaks in your roof. We want you to be more informed about the most common roof leaks that we deal with like:
This is the most common roof leak that homeowners usually encounter. A boot is a part around a pipe’s base that is a type of roof flashing. It comes out of your roof and waterproofs the base of the pipe.
When a pipe boot is damaged, it fails to stop water from flowing from the pipe down through your roof and into your home. Cracks caused by UV from the sun can serve as an entry point of water that will leak through your roof into different parts of your house where the pipe comes out of your roof.
For this type of roof leak issue, we install a little rubber collar that will encase the existing flange. We use the best quality rubber collar over the old cracked pipe boot that can last for 10-15 years.
Some nails on your roof may not have been driven far enough or may have been driven sideways. This can cause water to come down your roof through the nail. For improperly driven nails, we effectively pull the nail out and drive it in properly. Then we cover it with quality ice and a water shield.
A residential roof can have an area where two roof slopes meet in a V-shape. This area in the middle of a roof is called a valley. It usually has a gutter in it where water can flow down freely.
When the valley gets filled with leaves and other debris, water tends to flow into the fascia board and cause leaks. Â For this type of leak, we loosen the gutter, install pieces of flashing and tuck them under the valley.
Many chimneys cause leaks because of varying reasons which include:
Our roofing experts will know how to do a thorough inspection of these types of roof issues and determine the extent of damage to your roof.
Skylights typically have warranties that last for up to 30 years. However, when they are not properly installed, they can cause leaks on your roof. They will need to be watertight sealed to prevent leaking/
A torrential downpour can cause water to splash under the collar of a gas vent and lead to water leaking down the pipe. This happens when HVAC installers do not pay attention to roofing techniques when installing vents on your roof. Our roofing experts detect this type of leak mostly around the gas appliance connected to the leaking gas vent pipe.
