How can I tell if my roof is leaking?

A leaky roof is a sure sign that your roof needs some professional attention from Force5Roofing’s experts. We don’t suggest getting on the roof yourself to check for roof leaks. If you suspect your roof is leaking, call us for a Professional ROOF INSPECTION where our specially-trained eye will pay extra attention to signs of damage or leaks in or around certain areas, like:

• Gutters and downspouts
• Roof valleys
• Ridge caps
• Flashings

90% of the time roof leaks are the result of improper roof installation (improper nailing and/or shingle placement) or defective metal flashing. Roof leaks can also be caused by any (or a variety) of these factors:

• Hail impact (or other storm damage)
• Falling tree limbs
• Walking on the roof
• Cracked, sun-damaged shingles
• Age

Other roofing problems could be the result of a clogged gutter or misaligned flue pipes in the chimney. Consequently, water may start to flow where it shouldn’t, and seep into the walls and interior of your property. There’s only one way to find out if your roof needs repairing.
