​Roof Maintenance Is The Best Way To Care For Your Roof

Here Are The Top 10 Roofing Problems To Look Out For

01

Faulty Roof Installations

Leaks or draughts after a new roof installation can indicate improper tile fixing or incorrect placement, leading to water damage. To prevent this, always choose a reputable roofing company and have them inspect any issues.  If it is a brand new roof, there may be a guarantee that you can claim on for repairs from the home builder.

02

Moisture & Water Damage

Damp patches on attic walls or actual water drips are signs of water-related problems. 

03

Damage from Trees & Extreme Weather

If you have trees near your property then falling branches, debris, or extreme weather events can harm roofs. 

04

No Chimney Cricket

Without a chimney cricket (also called a saddle) water may not be diverted away from the chimney leading to water pooling and damage.

05

Water

Flat roofs or areas with poor drainage can accumulate water, causing leaks and deterioration.

06

Flashing Issues

Damaged or improperly installed flashing (the lead finishing around tiles or slates) can lead to leaks. 

07

Insulation Problems

Poor insulation allows heat to escape, affecting energy efficiency.

08

Ventilation

Inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture buildup, mold growth, and premature roof aging. 

09

Membrane Shrinkage

Flat roofs with membrane materials may shrink over time, causing cracks and leaks. 

10

Blocked Drainage

Clogged gutters, downspouts, or gullies prevent proper water flow.
