A roof leak doesn’t always start with a major problem.
*
Small issues can gradually turn into water damage if they’re left unchecked.
*
Here are 5 common causes of roof leaks:
*
• Age & Wear - Older roofing materials become more vulnerable to leaks over time.
• Poor Installation - Improperly installed roofing materials can create weak points where water can enter.
• Damaged or Missing Shingles - Wind, hail, and falling debris can damage or remove shingles, leaving your roof exposed.
• Clogged Gutters - Debris-filled gutters can cause water to overflow and contribute to moisture problems around your roof.
• Flashing Issues - Damaged or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations can allow water inside.
