COMMON ROOFING DAMAGES
Roof leaks are one of the most common types of roofing damage, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including missing or damaged shingles, cracks in the roofing material, and improper flashing. Leaks can lead to water damage and mold growth, and can compromise the structural integrity of the building.
LEAKS
Ponding water occurs when water collects and pools on the roof, typically in low areas or on flat roofs. This can be caused by improper drainage or a lack of slope on the roof. Ponding water can lead to leaks, mold growth, and roof collapse if left untreated.
PONDING WATER
High winds can cause roofing materials to become loose or dislodged, leading to leaks and other types of damage. Wind damage can also cause trees and other objects to fall onto the roof, causing further damage.
WIND DAMAGE
Hail can cause significant damage to roofing materials, including dents, cracks, and punctures. This can lead to leaks and other types of damage if not addressed promptly.
