Roof Leak Repair

Roof repairs for leaks are the biggest reason people call us. Sometimes it’s just flashing or some ridge cap that’s come loose, and some caulking or a few shingles will fix it. But a leak that has been there for a while may have developed other hidden damage. The longer you wait to fix it, the more serious it will get. A leak left alone can eventually destroy a home. The best thing to do is call someone out to see if we can fix that leaking roof. And, depending on what caused it, it may be covered by insurance. We can help you figure out if it’s something that might be covered (coverage will be up to your insurance carrier of course). For residential roof repair, call Cook Roofing Company at (417) 334-4238

What Does Roof Leak Repair Cost in Webster Groves

Depends, if it’s something easily remedied, like some caulking around a pipe flashing, it could possibly be relatively inexpensive. If the leak is a part of the roof that requires more extensive replacement of roofing, that can cost a lot more.

Insurance typically covers the cost of repairs if there is storm damage causing the leak. In that situation, you would only be required to cover the deductible, and we do offer financing for those (we’d love to waive your deductible, but that would be illegal. Beware of any roofing company in [iss_city_abbr_state] who says they don’t require or need one, that's insurance fraud). Call us for your free roof inspection, it’s the best first step, and there’s no obligation for Cook Roofing Company to come out and have a look, and give you a free - and thorough - estimate.

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

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.

Where do roofs tend to leak from?

The main source of roof leaks is where the roofing material is up against a wall, pipe, vent, or at the rake or eave edges. If the flashing is not installed correctly, these areas are prone to leaking. The leaks might not be visible or apparent for years, and by that time, there could be extensive damage. Roof installation is where you definitely get what you pay for, so make sure you use a quality roofer with a good labor warranty - preferably lifetime.

Why do metal roofs leak?

Metal roofs can leak from a couple of different places. With exposed fastener metal roofing, such as R panel, leaks from the exposed screws are common. The screws have neoprene washers that need to be replaced about every 10 years. The other places metal roofs sometimes leak from are the flashing areas - where roofing is against a wall, pipe, vent, or edge. If these flashings aren't done right - and that's more common than you'd think - then water can get through and cause all kinds of damage. That's why it's so important to get a good roofing contractor to do your roof installation and repair.
