If you’re a homeowner, chances are that you have or will encounter a roofing issue at some point or another. And more often than not, roofing issues are leaks. Roof leaks are easy to spot. They give themselves away by the water stains they leave on your ceiling. Tracking down their origin is a bit trickier, though. Leaks can occur anywhere on your roof, but they tend to originate at the intersection where shingles meet chimneys, vents, skylights, and gutters. These areas are prone to poorly sealed roof flashing and loose nails, which gives way to water. Once water gets into the attic, it can travel the path of least resistance along rafters and other horizontal surfaces until it drips its way onto your ceiling. This makes pinpointing the exact position of the leak quite a chore.
Additionally, weather and natural occurrences can cause your roof to leak. For example, when snow and ice melt, the water it leaves behind can seep between and beneath your shingles and the underlayment. If not addressed in a timely fashion, the wood beneath the shingle and roofing felt can rot. Furthermore, if the water happens to refreeze, it will pull the shingle from the decking as it freezes and expands. Burst plumbing pipes, clogged gutters, broken shingles, and general negligence can also cause you to need roof leak repair in Billerica, MA.
A tree falling on or through your roof during a storm is a more dramatic example of nature’s potential impact on roofs. Any of these events can cause your roof to leak. But on a more positive note, your homeowner’s insurance policy likely covers the roof leak repair if the need for repair came on suddenly or accidentally. Acts of God such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires are often covered by your insurance policy. Reach out to your insurer for more information on your specific policy, and then dial (781) 864-2525.
