Ways to Deal With the Consequences of a Leaky Roof

October 27, 2017 by Tonia Hornsby

Small roof leaks can turn into serious problems, which is why it’s important to address any leak in your roof—no matter the size—immediately. This not only helps maintain your safety, but it also prolongs the service life of your residential or commercial roofing system. In today’s post, Complete Exteriors, your local roofing expert, shares effective ways to address the consequences of a roof leak:

Ways To Deal With The Consequences Of A Leaky Roof

Interior Damage

Once leaks find their way inside your building, your ceilings, walls, and floors will be at risk of peeling and cracking. Water can also harm your equipment, furniture, and inventory, which can impair your day-to-day operations. At the first sight of water infiltration, it’s important to identify the source of the leak to temporarily fix the problem. Look for common roof leak points, like tears, holes, cuts, open seams, and missing flashing.

Premature Wear on The Roof

Water that seeps through the roof membrane can damage the seams, deck, and mechanical fasteners. This can result in extensive damage and reduced life span for your roof. To avoid early replacement, it’s important to invest in routine maintenance, repair, and restoration. As your trusted roofing specialist, we’ll work with you to develop a maintenance plan that meets your budget while addressing the critical issues of roof integrity and performance.

Wet Insulation

When insulation is exposed to water, your building’s energy efficiency becomes compromised. Wet insulation can also create a rich environment for mold and bacteria growth, which can trigger health problems. In addition to costly repairs, this can cause code violations and disruptions to your business when left neglected. To mitigate this issue, replace wet insulations with the same R-value thickness. You should also determine the extent of the mold and fix remaining leaks.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
