Missing Shingles Caused by Wind Damage

You wake up in the morning to go walk the dog, and there are shingles on your front lawn. Now what do you do? Well, sometimes on a newer roof, it’s possible to lift the shingles above the damaged ones up. They then remove the rest of the shingle (more than 50% of the damaged shingle is still underneath the one above it), try not to damage the underlayment (felt), nail a new shingle in, and try to keep from tearing other shingles. However, sometimes the shingles are worn and frail, and the others don’t pull aside easily, and tear and break apart. The plywood decking could be rotting and waterlogged and even delaminate as a result. There could even be so many shingles torn off or damaged that a simple repair won't cut it, and the whole roof will have to be replaced in some cases. A good roofing company would be unlikely to guarantee your roof won’t leak if they just make your roof look like a patchwork quilt. In many cases, insurance will buy these roofs after another inspection on them.

Damaged or Bent Metal Roof Flashing

Roof flashing is vital to your roofs integrity, and sometimes it can wriggle loose and be the root cause of a leaking roof. Flashing is generally nailed up under siding or shingles, and sometimes you have to interrupt a lot of other siding and other materials to repair it. Unfortunately taking a little time to just repair the flashing real quick is like putting a band-aid on an injury that needs stitches. With our experience from over 30 years of looking at roof damage and repairing and replacing roofs, we’re one of the best roofing companies nearby to be able to assess what it really takes to repair your leaking roof. And we will gladly meet the insurance adjuster and show them from a roofer’s perspective what really needs to be done to fix your damaged roof the right way.

FAQ

What is a minor roof repair?

Minor roof repairs involve things like replacing ridge vents, applying roof mastic to flashing areas or pipe vents, or sealing popped nails. Replacing a shingle or two on a relatively new roof could be considered minor, but sometimes the shingles tear when trying to lift them for access to the shingle that needs replacing. If you have storm damage and you are unsure whether a repair is possible, a free roof inspection could be a good first step. Sometimes the roof is irreparable, and insurance will pay for a new roof.

How do you stop a leaking roof?

It depends on where your roof is leaking from. The most common locations are at the edges of the roofing material, especially against side and end walls, pipes and vents, skylights, and chimneys. Water tends to run down structural areas in the attic so go uphill on the roof from where the leak inside is. Look for cracks, popped nails, missing shingles, places where the roof edges meet walls or vents, etc. There are sealants and tapes that can be used for temporary fixes, but problem areas should really be re-worked. Caulking and roof cement tends to crack over time and allow more water through.

How do you repair a leaking flat roof?

After finding the source of the leak (look for cracks in seams, puncture marks, flashing areas), you can use roofing cement or sealant to seal up the leak. Generally a membrane patch is applied over this, and sealed around the edges of the patch according to the instructions for the specific type of patch and roofing material. Be aware that a leak may have saturated insulation and decking underneath the roof membrane, and if that is not vented, you can end up with serious long term problems leading to the need to completely replace the whole roof, including risk of collapse in extreme situations. There are thermal imaging tools that better roofing companies can use to find these kinds of wet situations.
