Potential Reasons for Persistent Leaks on a Fixed Roof

Dealing with persistent roof leaks can be frustrating, especially if they suddenly appear as soon as repairs are completed. Local roof replacement contractor Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. takes a closer look at some of the possibilities as to why this happens to some homeowners.

Existing Issue Not Related to Your Roof

The leaks are likely coming not from the roof itself but somewhere around it. The roofers might have missed out on the problem when they performed the inspection and applied the repairs.

Incorrect Diagnosis

The roofers might have missed out on checking the other areas of the roof due to difficulties in locating the primary source of the leak. What they thought to be the only leak they fixed might be one of many that are present. Or, the problem is not the roof at all.

Movement of Water

Water finds a path of least resistance so it can flow. The same happens in the context of your roof leaks. Fixing one side of the roof while failing to address the other side that is equally problematic will cause water to go to that area, causing new leaks to appear. A reliable roofing contractor will first perform a thorough roof inspection before carrying out the necessary roof repair.

Substandard Materials

A persistent leak following a repair is also a sign that you hired a less-qualified contractor for the job. Those who charge lower rates cut corners just to save on costs, doing so by using low-quality roofing materials and carrying out repairs that are not within industry standards.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
