Our roofing professionals know that Ohio roofs have to withstand a lot from mother nature. From heavy snow to strong winds and summer storms, it's not uncommon for homeowners having to deal with a minor leak to needing emergency roof repair service.
Here are some of the common roofing problems that we encounter regularly.
Leakage
Leaks occur when rainwater seeps into the attic space above the roof deck. This problem can lead to major structural damage if it goes undetected and untreated. If you notice a leak, contact your local roofer immediately.
Missing Flashing
Flashing is a metal strip that runs along the edge of the roof or chimney. When installed properly, flashing helps prevent water from entering the building. But if there is no flashing, water can enter the walls and drywall behind the sheathing. Once water enters the wall, it can cause serious damage.
Blow-Off Damage
A storm system can move quickly across Ohio, bringing damaging winds, rain, and even hail. If you've experienced a weather event like this, your roof could need minor repairs or a complete roof removal and installation.
At TK Roofing & Gutters, we will work with your insurance company to ensure that they cover what they promised they would.
Damaged Shingles
If you notice damage on your roof, it could mean there’s a problem with your shingle installation. If you see cracks, missing pieces, or holes, call us immediately to schedule a repair appointment. Our team will evaluate the issue and provide recommendations for how to fix it.
Too Many Layers of Roofing
Roofing contractors are often faced with the challenge of repairing multiple layers of roofing materials. When a roofer identifies a problem, it’s important to determine whether the issue is related to one layer or several.
If there is just one layer of material that needs replacing, the contractor can simply tear off the old material and apply a new piece. However, if there are multiple layers of roofing material, the repair process becomes much more complicated.
The most common types of roofing materials include asphalt shingles, metal panels, tile, concrete, and wood shakes. Each type of material requires different steps during installation and maintenance. For example, asphalt shingles must be nailed down, while tile must be grouted.
These differences make it difficult to know how many layers of roofing material are present without tearing up the entire roof. To avoid costly mistakes, roofers should use a professional roofing service to identify and document each layer of roofing material. This way, they can ensure that the job gets done the first time correctly.
Roof Ventilation Issues
The weather outside can be frigid during the winter. If your roof is improperly vented, you could be losing heat. The best way to keep energy costs low is by making sure that your roof is vented properly so that you can save money on your heating bill in the cold winter months.
