Roof Repair A Job For The Professionals

• Your home can quickly become a disaster zone the
  minute there is a problem with your roof roofs
  are designed to withstand a lot, but no roof has
  a lifetime guarantee, and all roofs should be
  checked regularly for damage.
• Due to the very nature of roofs, there may be
  damage to them that we wouldnt notice until it
  becomes a problem, such as missing tiles that
  lead to a leak in heavy rains. Sometimes thats
  unavoidable, but its wise to have your roof
  checked by a professional after a particularly
  vicious storm, for example, in order to get any
  damage fixed before it ends up costing you even
  more money.

• Weve all heard the horror stories of regular
  people climbing up on to their roofs to check
  them for damage, only to end up slipping and
  causing themselves serious injury. Whether or not
  your insurance would cover you for this, it could
  still mean weeks off of work and added stress for
  the entire family its just not worth the risk.
• If you think your roof may be damaged in any way,
  or you simply want peace of mind, always seek out
  a professional roofing company to help you with
  this.

• If you know that your roof is damaged, then never
  attempt to fix it yourself. You will not have the
  skills and know how that a professional roofing
  company will have, and a task that they may be
  able to complete relatively quickly, could end up
  taking you hours, if not days to fix.

• So what are some of the most common problems
  people experience with their roofs?
• Leaks There are many factors that can cause a
  leaking roof, but improper installation and
  fastening of flashing details, and of seams, can
  often result in a leak. If this isnt the problem
  itself, then perhaps the materials used in the
  installation of the flashing are at fault either
  way, you could be in big trouble if your flashing
  is damaged and you should call out a roofing
  expert to examine it right away.

• Shoddy workmanship If your roof was built by
  somebody who claimed to be a professional, but
  who may have cut corners and used inadequate
  materials, you could well end up experiencing
  problems with your roof years, if not months,
  down the line. Poor workmanship is a common cause
  of many roof problems, not only when roofs are
  initially constructed, but when they are being
  repaired, too. Always conduct thorough checks on
  anybody you employ to build or repair your roof,
  and wherever possible, try to employ a reputable
  company or individual.

• Leaving problems for too long If you know that
  there is a problem with your roof, even if it
  seems to be a minor issue, its always best to
  get it looked at straight away, and repaired
  immediately if necessary. This will prevent a
  small problem from escalating into a bigger
  problem saving you money in the long term.
• Shoddy repairs Many people believe that they can
  save time and money by repairing damage to their
  roofs, themselves, but this can often result in
  the added expense of calling out a professional
  to fix the problem. The materials used might not
  be intended for that type of roof, and this can
  cause further permanent, and often costly,
  damage.
