Roofing Repairs
Roof repairs are, unfortunately, all too common. Many things can lead to the need for a roof repair, but the most common are leaks, weather wear and tear and tree limbs. Repairs can also be necessary as a result of poor installation, malfunction, or age.
Leaky Roof
Leaks happen to roofs primarily as they age, but can also be caused by poor installation. Leaks can cause damage not only to your roof, but also to the interior of your house. They're most commonly found around openings such as skylights, chimneys, dormers and roof/wall intersections. Leaks in these places are commonly caused by worn or poorly installed flashing.
Weather Wear and Tear
Roofs also occasionally need repairs for damage caused by the weather. Wind, rain, ice and hail can all cause damage, with hail being a big concern in Central Texas. Many leaks also will not be detected until the region receives a large amount of rain, or a torrential downpour. In Central Texas, it's common for leaks to go undetected throughout the dry summer, only to be found once the fall rains begin.
Tree Limbs
Trees are usually great for your home--they increase curbside value andhelp cool your house in the summertime. However, trees can also cause roof damage in the form of consistent rubbing, broken limbs on the roof (causing undesired weight) and broken limbs through the roof.
