Is My Roof Leaking?
Your roof may begin leaking long before you notice water damage or other issues with your roof.
Here are a few early signs of leaks so you can catch the problem and reach out to our team before it becomes severe:
- Missing or curling shingles: Damaged shingles create areas of vulnerability where water can sneak into your home or business. This is why maintenance and inspections after a storm can be essential, as this isn’t typically noticeable from the ground.
- Damaged flashing: Similarly, missing shingles expose your flashing, which creates a watertight barrier on your roof. Don’t create opportunities for water to cause lasting damage to your space.
- Water spots in the attic or roof discoloration: Before water damage appears on the walls or ceilings, it will show up as spots on the attic floor. You may also notice discoloration on your roof from where water sits in areas.
- Ice dams: If there’s any build-up of material on your roof or sagging areas caused by water damage, it can create an ice dam where water will build up and freeze multiple times throughout the winter, causing water to back up under the shingles.
Metal & Tile Roof Repair
Comprehensive Metal Roof Repair Solutions
Metal and tile roofs are known for their durability and long lifespans, but they may still need repair even though they’re strong. Leaks and oxidation are some of the most significant issues metal roofs face. Common areas for leaks are on the seams and where there are openings for vents, skylights, or similar additions. Nearly all metal is vulnerable to oxidation, mainly if no protective coating is applied after installation. Oxidation often leads to structural failures, like exposed fastener heads and leaks.
How We Can Help You With Tile Roof Repair!
Expert Tile Roof Repair in Austin
A tile roof can be durable and long-lasting, but like any roofing material, it may require repairs over time.
Here are some signs that your tile roof may need repair:
- Broken or Missing Tiles: This is perhaps the most obvious sign. If you notice individual tiles that are cracked, chipped, or completely missing, it's time for repair. Missing tiles can expose the underlayment and roof structure to moisture damage.
- Leaks: Water stains on ceilings or walls inside your home indicate a leak in the roof. However, it's important to note that leaks can occur even if you don't see obvious signs of water penetration. Inspect your attic for signs of water damage or dampness.
- Sagging Roof Deck: If you notice areas of your roof sagging, it could indicate structural issues or water damage that has compromised the integrity of the roof deck. This requires immediate attention.
- Damaged Flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations can deteriorate over time, leading to leaks. Inspect the flashing for signs of damage or deterioration.
- Moss or Algae Growth: While moss or algae growth on tiles might not directly damage the tiles themselves, it can indicate excess moisture retention, which can lead to deterioration of the tiles and underlayment over time.
- Loose Tiles: Tiles that are loose or out of place can allow water to seep underneath them, leading to leaks and other damage.
- Granule Loss: If you have concrete or clay tiles, look for excessive granule loss. Granules provide protection from the sun's UV rays and help with water shedding. Loss of granules can lead to premature deterioration of the tiles.
- Clogged Gutters: If your gutters are clogged with tile debris or if you find a lot of granules in the gutter, it may indicate that your tiles are deteriorating.
- Interior Damage: Look for signs of water damage on your ceilings or walls. This could include discoloration, peeling paint, or bubbling wallpaper.
- Age of Roof: Even if you don't notice any obvious signs of damage, if your tile roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (which can vary depending on the type of tile), it's a good idea to have it inspected by a professional roofer to assess its condition.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to address them promptly to prevent further damage to your roof and your home. Hiring a professional roofer to inspect your tile roof periodically can help catch potential issues early before they escalate into costly repairs.
Common Mistakes in Tile Roof Repair
When it comes to tile roof repair, homeowners often make several common mistakes that can lead to further damage and costly repairs. Here are some pitfalls to avoid:
- Ignoring Minor Damage: Many homeowners wait too long to address minor issues such as cracked or loose tiles, believing that they are not significant. However, small problems can rapidly escalate into larger leaks and structural damage if left unattended.
- DIY Repairs: While some minor repairs may seem manageable, many individuals underestimate the complexity of roof work. DIY methods can lead to improper repairs that exacerbate issues rather than solve them.
- Neglecting Regular Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance can catch potential problems before they become severe. Skipping this step can lead to unknown vulnerabilities.
- Using Incorrect Materials: Not all tiles or repair materials are created equal. Using mismatched or low-quality materials can compromise the integrity of the roof and lead to premature failure.
- Failing to Seal Properly: Improper sealing around flashings, vents, and other roof penetrations can invite water infiltration. Neglecting this crucial step can result in leaks and damage.
- Overlooking Flashing Issues: Flashing serves as a critical barrier against water intrusion. Neglecting to check or repair damaged flashing can lead to significant leak problems.
- Exceeding Weight Limits: Adding heavy materials or equipment on a tile roof can stress the structure beyond its limits, causing significant damage or even collapse.
