Spotting Common Roof Problems Early

Even the smallest roofing issues can lead to significant damage if left unchecked. Understanding the most common roof problems can help you act quickly to protect your home. At Edgeline Roofing, weve identified the top culprits that threaten your roofs integrity and are ready to address them with precision and care.

• Roof Leaks

  ---

  Water infiltration can cause serious damage to your homes structure. We locate leaks fast to prevent further damage and restore your roofs protection.

• Damaged Shingles

  ---

  Cracked, curled, or missing shingles expose your roof to the elements. Our team quickly replaces or repairs these shingles to maintain your roof's durability.

• Blow Off Damage

  ---

  High winds can dislodge shingles and leave your roof vulnerable. We repair wind damage effectively, ensuring your roof stands strong against future storms.

• Soffits and Fascia and Drip Edges

  ---

  From the ground, we will look at the condition of the soffit material covering the roof overhang. Once on a ladder, we can get a closer look to see if any water has made its way behind the fascia's and drip edges.

• Gutters and Downspouts

  ---

  Our Roofing Inspector will look for confirmation that the gutters are free of standing water and that the downspouts are firmly attached and functioning as they should.

• Roofing Material

  ---

  The condition of the roofing material is best determined by a close examination of the roof itself. Trying to gauge its condition from the ground will return a far less accurate assessment.

• Roof Penetrations

  ---

  Vent pipes, roof vents, media installations, or other items create holes in your roof. These holes are covered by various boots, seals, sealants or flashing to keep water out. All of these penetration seals should be inspected for condition and effectiveness. The conditions of the penetrating items themselves are also inspected.

• Flashing

  ---

  Flashing is strips of metal, plastic or other material that are used to divert water away from the joint created where a wall extends through the roof. Building codes are strict in regards to flashing installation. The inspector will make sure your flashing is up to code and make recommendations if its not.

• Skylight and Chimney Condition

  ---

  Skylight windows and chimney conditions are part of a thorough roof inspection. Although theyre not necessarily roofing components, having their condition determined before a roof replacement could save money by avoiding extra roofing work later.

• Attic

  ---

  If your home allows access to the attic, inspecting the roof from below can prove beneficial. Stains or other water damage can be easily spotted on bare wood and will tell you exactly where a roof problem has occurred.
