Common Problems that Require
Emergency Repairs

Roof emergencies can arise unexpectedly, putting your home and family at risk. Some of the most frequent causes include

  • Severe Weather Events: Storms, tornadoes, hail, high winds, and heavy rain or snowfall can all cause damage such as missing, punctured, or lifted shingles, leaks, and structural issues, any of which can lead to an emergency situation.
  • Fallen Branches or Trees: Trees surrounding your home can be a hazard during storms or strong winds. Entire trees or branches can fall onto your roof, resulting in scratches, punctures, dents, or even structural collapse.
  • Aging and Wear: Roofs naturally deteriorate over time due to temperature changes, exposure to the elements, and UV radiation. Aging roofs can develop leaks, weakened shingles, or other damage that lead to sudden emergencies.
  • Poor Installation or Maintenance: Improper installation or inadequate maintenance can compromise the integrity of your roof, making it susceptible to leaks, structural damage, and increased vulnerability during severe weather.
  • Flashing Failure: Flashing is designed to prevent water infiltration in vulnerable areas like chimneys, vents, and skylights. Corrosion, improper installation, or deterioration can cause it to fail, leading to water leaks and other emergencies.
  • Ice Dams: During the cold winter months, ice dams can form in gutters and along the roof’s edge, preventing proper drainage of melting ice and snow. Trapped water can seep under shingles, into your attic, behind the siding, and into your insulation and walls – resulting in leaks, water damage, and structural issues.
