Fix Your Leaking Roof Now!

The small leak that you might be experiencing can develop into a much larger problem.

A leak can quickly turn into much more than an unpleasant drip, and it can wreak havoc on your home in a very short time.

Leaking roofs in Maryland do not always mean that you need extensive roof repair.

.

They can often only require minor fixes and some maintenance.

Not addressing the issue can lead to much more work down the road, though.

Here is a list of the issues that a neglected roof leak can cause.

• Damage – An unattended leak can damage your home; it can weaken structural points over time, as well as damage drywall and other building materials.
  
  
• Staining – A leak can stain almost anything that it is exposed to, such as walls, floors, carpets, and items in storage like pictures and clothes.
  
  
• Molds and Mildew – By not fixing a leaking roof, you also expose your household to health problems resulting from the growth of molds and mildews, which can agitate breathing and cause other respiratory and health problems.

Give yourself and your family peace of mind by taking care of a small problem, before it gets much bigger.

Common Roof Leak Locations

Before calling a contractor for roofing services, you might already know where the leak is.

A roofing leak often occurs at one of the following spots on your roof.

• Shingles – Missing, damaged, or improperly installed shingles will allow water to leak in; cracks and loose nails can also be letting the water in.
  
  
• Valleys – The line where the two roof planes intersect, this is an area of the roof that is very prone to leaking because the flashing or shingles may be incorrectly installed or maintained.
  
  
• Chimneys – Often the culprit for a leak, a chimney contains four different types of flashing, leaving a lot of room for a leak to occur. Even a small crack around the mortar can bring lots of water into your home.
  
  
• Furnace Flashing – The vertical pipe exiting the roof from a furnace is very similar to a chimney and is another big culprit with roofing leaks.
  
  
• Plumbing Vent Flashing – If you have plumbing running near your ceiling, then the flashing that protects the piping may be letting water seep in.
  
  
• Ice Dam Leaks – In areas like Maryland with cold winters, ice can form on your roof and under shingles, blocking the flow of water, which can make its way into your house.
  
  
• Wind Blown Leaks – Strong gusts of wind can force water through roofing materials that may be poorly installed, maintained, or in need of extra protection.

If the leak is not the result of the roofing materials, then there are ways that we can help by giving you extra protection against the elements.

Roof coating is an affordable and efficient way to help seal your roof against the elements and lower your energy costs.
