Common Causes of Roof Leaks

Tile Leak: Tile leaks can occur when the underlayment beneath the tiles erode over time. This may be due to the unrelenting sun, weather conditions, and age of the roof. If left untreated the wood the tiles adhere to may become rotted and add to the need of repair.
Shingle Damage: Shingles may become cracked, rotted, loose, or even go missing with time! This presents an opportunity for water to get in and cause havoc on your home. The integrity of your roof is of utmost importance.
Failed Screws or Seams in Metal Roofs: Screws that are under-driven, off center, or even too tight can allow water to intrude the roof. Additionally, the seams of the roof itself can be misshaped or not installed properly also leading to water intrusion.
Facia Board Rot: There is an exterior wood trim piece that runs along the edge of your home and at times this may rot and need to be replaced. Determining the source of the water that is causing the rot is essential to making this a lasting repair.
Flashing Conditions: Areas in which flashing is not properly installed or areas in which the roof changes directions, such as for vents, skylights, or chimney can be key areas where leaks can occur. Compromised flashing can cause a serious leak and need to be repaired quickly to avoid further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

I know nothing about roofing, and insurance won’t cover my repair. How do I make sure I’m not getting taken advantage of?

This is a very common concern. Start by requesting multiple written estimates, asking each contractor to explain why the repair is needed and what materials will be used. A reputable roofing company will show photos, explain the scope in plain language, and never pressure you into a decision. Transparency, licensing, and clear documentation are key signs you’re working with an honest contractor.

Yes. Roof repair makes sense when damage is localized, and the remaining roof is in good condition. If leaks are recurring, repairs are widespread, or the roof is near the end of its expected lifespan, replacement often becomes the more cost-effective and reliable solution. A professional inspection helps determine which option truly makes sense.

Durability depends on using materials that match your existing roof system. High-quality underlayments, corrosion-resistant fasteners, proper flashing, and manufacturer-approved sealants all play a role. The best repairs don’t rely on temporary fixes like excessive tar; they focus on restoring proper water flow and structural protection.

Not always. In many cases, a targeted repair or partial section replacement is reasonable if the surrounding materials are sound. However, if the damage extends beneath the surface or compromises a larger area, a contractor may recommend replacing a bigger section to ensure long-term integrity. Getting a second opinion is absolutely reasonable.

At 22 years old, many roofing systems are approaching the end of their expected lifespan. Minor repairs can sometimes extend usability, but they may only be short-term solutions. A professional evaluation can help you decide whether repairs are still worth the investment or if replacement will save money over time.

No. A roof that is just one year old should not have performance issues under normal conditions. If problems appear, it’s reasonable to request an inspection and repairs under the workmanship warranty. A reputable roofing company stands behind its work and addresses legitimate concerns promptly.
Yes. Tarping is typically a temporary measure to prevent further water intrusion. Once the tarp is removed, a roofer can assess the underlying damage and perform proper repairs. The key is addressing the root cause, not relying on the tarp as a long-term fix.
Routine roof maintenance includes visual inspections after storms, keeping gutters clear, removing debris, checking flashing and sealants, and scheduling professional inspections every few years. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues early and significantly extends roof life.
That depends on the overall roof condition. If most tiles are in good shape and still available, replacing only damaged tiles is often sufficient. However, if tiles are brittle, discontinued, or failing across multiple areas, broader replacement may be recommended to ensure consistency and prevent future issues.
Hidden leaks often show up as subtle signs, stains, odors, peeling paint, or mold. Professional roof inspections use moisture detection, attic evaluations, and targeted water testing to locate leaks accurately. Early detection allows for precise repairs that prevent costly structural damage.
