Debris leaks that we fix
Buildup of twigs, leaves or pine needles can trap water against the roof allowing water to soak in by capillary action. Itʼs vitally important to keep the roof clear so water can run off quickly. Cutting overhanging tree branches will make it easier to keep your roof clear of problems and potential leaks.
Gutter Backup
Gutters that are clogged with leaves or other material can slow the water flow off the roof, giving it time to soak through to the wood under the roofing material. Gutter covers can help keep gutters clear of debris to help ensure that water flows freely and quickly off the roof.
Roof Vent leaks that we correct and prevent
Itʼs important for all vents and pipes that penetrate through your roof are sealed properly with quality products to prevent leaks. Inspect the gaskets around vent pipes for cracks or gaps and check for missing nails. Plastic vents may crack after years of exposure to the weather.
Holes can cause leaks
Holes remaining after the removal of a TV antenna or some other rooftop installation can draw water into the house. Inspect the roof for holes and seal any that you discover.
Slope can cause leaks
If your roof slope is too shallow, wind could lift shingles and drive rain under the shingle creating leaks in your residential roof or you large commercial roof. Roof slope, or pitch, is measured as a ratio of its vertical rise, in inches, over a horizontal distance of 12 inches. The International Building Code stipulates that the roof slope must be at least 2:12 for installation of asphalt shingles. Missing or Damaged Shingles leaks that we fix Strong winds can tear or rip shingles from the roof exposing areas you canʼt see.

Flashing leaks that we fix and prevent
Metal roof flashing seals roof transitions where large amounts of water pour down or where unwanted absorption can occur. Flashing is placed around likely areas for leaks: where the roof joins a dormer, where a chimney penetrates the roof and around the edges of skylights. Flashing sections can slide or move out of proper alinement if nails are missing and caulk has become dry, cracking over time.
Age leaks that we service
Even the best roofing materials deteriorate over time and become and can cause problems with your residential or commercial roof. Temperature changes and
extreme weather conditions may cause roofing materials to become hard and crack with age and exposure to direct sunlight may melt the tar that seals shingles together.
Ridge Cap leaks that we prevent and fix
The ridge cap covers the gap at the peak of a roof where the two slopes meet. Contractors who use rope and harness systems without protecting the ridge cap with temporary covering can cause holes in the roof material, allowing water from rain to enter.
