Residential Roof Repair & maintenance

The list of damages can go on and on. However, 90% of roof leaks are caused by improper installation or by defective metal flashing, rarely does the actual roofing product itself fail. Flashing is found near any roof penetration area such as chimneys, headwalls, vent pipes, and valley areas where roof angles come together. During a roof repair inspection, Aggieland Roofing finds it is necessary to inspect for any roof damage or problem areas that could lead to additional problems and a bigger expense down the road. If leaks are not properly addressed and repaired, the structural integrity of your home may be weakened as the building frame continues to be exposed to the elements.

Poor workmanship is another leading cause of leaks. For example, nail heads that fall below the shingle line cause an exposed nail head to rust. Exposed fasteners on ridges and around penetrations also caused areas to rust and fail. Improper installation of flashings is also another cause.

Drainage issues such as clogged gutters and improper flow of water can also lead to leaks and other issues around the homes. Clogged gutters can allow water to overflow the back of the gutter and leak along the walls and inside of the home.
