20 Common causes of roofing damage
Below are a few common domestic roofing issues that may occur
1. Inferior materials or bad roofing design and fitting
2. Potential leaking and roofing damage as a result of satellite installation
3. Shingles falling off because of incorrect nail location, leading to roof leaks.
4. Shingle damage brought about by poor fitting of gutter leaf guards.
5. Poor flashing around skylights and chimneys.
6. Metal ridge vents being blown off by gale force winds.
7. Blocked or incorrectly pitched gutters, which makes it feasible for water to circulation around and causes damage to shingles.
8. No chimney cricket or chimney saddle – the wooden frame which helps keep your chimney stack waterproof.
9. Plumbing boot corrosion.
10. Tree branches breaching shingle areas.
11. Vents which are failing.
12. Hail damage to roofing vents.
13. Roofing vent isn’t in very good condition.
14. Ice dam effect: Down pipe is installed means too close towards the roof area.
15. Down pipes aren’t installed to stop ice dam occurring.
Industrial Roofing Issues
16. Pitch pans – Correctly installed and kept pitch pans seal around pipes to prevent leaks and assist with drainage.
17. Blown off chimney and vent caps.
18. Roofing Leaks – When is a leaking roof not a leaking roof? When mortar joints and brickwork have been corroded. Bricks and mortar sealing should be well constructed and waterproofed to stop water from cascading through.
19. Industrial Roofing Blocked Drains – Regular inspections and maintenance of drainage is necessary to ensure that any debris that may cause blockage is cleared regularly.
20. Roof age. Some roofs last long than others. Flat roofs in particular need major repairs or complete replacement every ten years.
