ROOF REPAIR

Even after a particularly bad storm, don’t immediately assume you need a whole new roof. How badly is your existing roof damaged?

Common Shingle Repairs

Storm Damage

Loose or missing shingles. Wind may loosen or even tear off shingles. 

Broken, cracked, or torn shingles. This can be from hail, wind, or heat damage.

Dented or pitted shingles. This is usually from a hailstorm.

Folded or creased shingles. This occurs when the wind lifts the shingle up from the roof’s surface. Creases are dark horizontal lines.

If you have storm damage, we can also help you with the insurance claim process.

Weathering & Age

Curling. A shingle’s curled edge can indicate built-up moisture, which can lead to rot or insect infestations. Causes include age, poor attic ventilation, multiple layers of shingles, or improper installation (insufficient nails or shingles not lined up properly).

Shrinking. Shingles can shrink because of weather or their age. This can also lead to lifting, then water penetrating underneath the shingle.

Splitting. Shingles expand in heat and contract in cooler weather. Sudden changes in temperature can cause splitting.

Weathered or bald spots. Weather or hail can erode the shingles’ granule coating, exposing underlying surfaces. Increased runoff in valleys, where slopes meet, accelerates this erosion in valleys.

Damage that affects more than one-third of your roof may require a complete roof replacement.

Common Causes of Leaks

Leaks can be caused by a number of circumstances.

Problems with Metal Flashing

Flashing often doesn’t last as long as the rest of your roof components. 

Flashing around plumbing or roof vents, chimneys, or dormers may have deteriorated, cracked, or rusted through. Water can then run down the roof and ultimately leak through your ceiling.

The step flashing along walls that intersect your roof may have rusted through or become loose, letting water run behind and into your house.

The soffit flashing may rust or fail, allowing water into your roof. (The soffit is the area underneath the eaves, which overhang your home’s walls.)

Holes in the Roof

Small holes from satellite dishes or antenna brackets that used to be on the roof can lead to rot and leaks. 

The chimney’s bricks or mortar may have cracked, letting water in.

Part of your plywood roof decking may have rotted or failed, letting water in.

Royal Crown Roofing can inspect your roof to identify leaks. We can also use infrared thermal leak detection to pinpoint hard-to-find leaks. 

When we repair roofs, we use the highest quality materials and workmanship, backed by the best warranties in the industry.
