Roof Water Leaks: Causes and Homeowners’ Solutions
Damaged Roofing Materials:
Identify and replace any shingles, tiles, or membrane materials that are harmed or in poor condition.
Flashing problems:
To stop water penetration, inspect and fix the flashing around skylights, chimneys, and vents.
Clogged Gutters and Downspouts:
To maintain effective water drainage, regularly clean the gutters and check that the downspouts are free of obstructions.
Poor Ventilation:
Attic ventilation needs to be improved to stop moisture buildup, which can result in leaks.
Ice Dams (in Cold Climates):
Install an ice and water shield membrane to stop ice dams from forming on the edge of the roof in cold climates.
