Finding out you have a leak in your roof can be incredibly frustrating. However, your roof is always subjected to the elements, and in Calgary, mother nature can be quite unpredictable. Even if you don’t have a noticeable leak or damage on your roof, it’s good to keep an eye out for potential issues. Finding problem areas on your roof early can save you money in the long-run. Issues that aren’t addressed early on may result in paying for an entire roof replacement in Calgary. Keep reading to find out from Calgary Roofing Exerts, Claw Roofing, some of the most common roofing problems.
Leaking Roof
A leaking roof or too much moisture is one of the most common roofing problems. If you notice your roof or skylights are leaking, you should have it checked out by a Calgary Roofing professional as soon as possible to prevent further damage from excess moisture. Most leaks come from flashing that wasn’t installed correctly. If you have a built-up roof, this is likely the cause. Whatever the reason for the leaks, if you need roof leak repair in Calgary, call us today. We’d be happy to take a look to diagnose and repair your roof leak as soon as possible.
Poor Installation or Repairs
One of the most common problems that result in roofing issues is faulty installations or repairs. Poor workmanship will result in a problem down the road if preventative actions aren’t taken. Issues from poor workmanship can be hard to see at first but will lead to issues down the road. Be sure that the Calgary roofing company you hire to do work on your roof are properly educated in the installation techniques specific to your roof.
Small Animals
Your roof can be compromised by small critters such as birds or insects. It’s surprising how much damage they can cause. If you notice small creepy critters making nests or potentially damaging your roof, it’s best to evict them before they make permanent damage.
Lack of Maintenance
Failing to maintain your roof could be one of the largest causes of expensive roof problems. Many problems, if caught early enough, can be fixed at a lower cost.
