Leaky Roof

Have a Leaky Roof Problem?

Leaky roofs can be a very small problem that can become expensive very quickly. Taking immediate action and repairing the problem before it becomes a larger one is what we do at Kresta Roofing.

Leaky roofs aren't just the result of severe weather — it is something that can be a result of several rain showers over several years. The damage from these storms becomes gradual without maintenance and can produce a leaky roof. If ignored, the leak could result in mold, water damage, and even structural damage.

How to Identify a Roof Leak

While trying to identify a roof leak, keep in mind that gravity pulls water downhill — so start your inspection uphill on the roof from where the water stains were noticed inside. You can do this by measuring from an exterior wall inside of the house, then measure that same distance on a flat line up on the roof. Roof penetrations are by far the most common types of roof leaks that we find. Roof penetrations include chimneys, gas vents, pipe flashings, or anything else that sticks up out of the roof. If a leak is found below where there is a penetration in the roof, it is very likely that the penetration needs to be re-sealed or flashed. If you have attic access, you can oftentimes climb into your attic and see signs of where water has been running, wood rot or even mold.

How to Pinpoint a Roof Leak

A water inspection is the truest way to identify a roof leak. We offer water testing when necessary but most of the time our trained reps will be able to identify your roof leak without doing so. Our most common repairs are made on shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofing systems, but our repair services for leaking roofs are available for all types of roofing systems.
