investigating a roof leak
Locating a roof leak can sometimes be challenging, but here are some steps to how we can identify the source.
​
-
Check Interior: We will start by examining the interior of your home or building. We are looking for water stains, damp spots, or mold growth on the ceilings, walls, or attic, we will follow the trail of any water stains to determine the general area where the leak might be occurring.
-
Inspect Attic: If accessible, we will inspect the attic for signs of water intrusion. We are looking for wet insulation, water stains on rafters or trusses, or daylight coming through the roof boards.
-
Examine Roof Exterior: Once we have an idea of the general area of the leak, we will inspect the exterior of the roof looking for damaged or missing shingles, cracked flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights, and any other visible signs of damage or deterioration.
-
Use Water Test: If we're having trouble pinpointing the leak, we will perform a water test. We will spray water on specific areas of the roof and observe from inside. We systematically test different sections of the roof until we identify where the water is entering.
the reality of a repair
A common concern with roof repairs, especially when dealing with older roofs or specific roofing materials. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause fading or changes in color, making it challenging to perfectly match new materials with existing ones. Additionally, variations in manufacturing batches or slight differences in installation techniques can also contribute to color discrepancies.
​
Below are examples of exact shingle color matches that are visible after the repair due to aging over time. For tile repairs, if the you don't have extra tiles, we may have to find a tile with the matching profile and paint to match. New metal panels will likely be brighter or shinier than existing panels and paint colors from different coils are not guaranteed to match.
