Damaged Shingles
Broken or missing shingles can leave your roof vulnerable to water intrusion. Wind, hail, or aging can cause them to deteriorate.
Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters prevent water from flowing properly, leading to water buildup on the roof and potential leaks. Regular gutter cleaning is essential.
Roof Flashing Issues
Flashing around vents, chimneys, or skylights can crack or corrode over time, allowing water to seep through and cause leaks.
Poor Installation
Improper roof installation or shoddy workmanship can result in gaps, misaligned shingles, and weak spots that lead to leaks.
Ice Dams
During winter, ice dams can form along the roofline, trapping water under the shingles and causing leaks. Proper insulation and ventilation can prevent this.
Wear and Tear from Age
As your roof ages, the materials begin to deteriorate. This natural wear can create vulnerabilities that allow water to seep in.
