Cracked, curled, or missing shingles create openings that allow water to penetrate the roof. These damaged shingles can result from severe weather, improper installation, or age-related wear and tear.
Flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights is designed to prevent water intrusion. When flashing becomes damaged or improperly installed, it can lead to leaks as water finds its way through the gaps.
Clean gutters are essential for proper water drainage. When gutters are clogged with debris, water can overflow and seep under the roof's edge, causing leaks and water damage.
As roofs age, they can develop weak spots and vulnerabilities, such as worn-out sealants or deteriorating materials. These areas become more susceptible to leaks during heavy rain or windstorms.
