Richmond BC Roof Repair

Roof issues aren’t always obvious. Storm damage can take months or even years to surface. Neglecting damage can create more complicated issues and put the rest of your home at risk. Putting off necessary roofing repairs can cause water intrusion, pest infestations, energy efficiency issues, and more.

Regular or periodic roof maintenance is a way to prevent high-cost repair in the future. While you may notice loose, curled shingles or obvious damage to part of your roof, many signs of roof damage and wear and tear are invisible. A hidden leak under shingles, flashing damage around chimneys, and missing granules on shingles may not be visible without a close-up inspection. Moisture damage in a section of wet underlayment can grow and, when finally discovered, cost more to fix. Periodic roof inspections are a cost-effective way to maintain your roof and extend its life. Repairing your roof at the first sign of potential damage also minimizes your roof repair costs over time.

• Missing Shingles: Missing roof shingles can let in moisture and water, leading to leaks and rotted roof decking.

• Missing or Damaged Flashing: Missing or broken weather-sealing around roof vents, exhaust fans, chimneys, or skylights can lead to roof leaks.

• Clogged or Damaged Gutters: Faulty gutters prevent water from draining properly and can lead to a leaky roof or moisture damage.

• Weather Damage: Strong winds, wind-blown debris, or hail can damage roof shingles and contribute to leaks.
