Prevent a Leaking Roof Repair Job Today

Feb. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- When it comes to a leaking roof, prevention is better than cure, as a leaking roof can create many repair costs. There are many reasons for a leaking roof and it is important to keep an eye out for possible causes and avoid them when possible.

Some major causes of leaking roofs are:

1.   Old Age: One of the most common causes of a leaking repair job is general old age and wear and tear. Over time your roof will deteriorate, brittle, crack and split which all leads to a leaking roof and leaking roof repairs.
2.   The Weather: Sun, wind, dust, rain, snow and other weather conditions can all weaken your roof in different ways. Your roof is constantly exposed to these elements so look after your roof to avoid unnecessary roof repair jobs and leaking.
3.   Surrounding Environment: Trees, leaves and debris can all put your roof at risk of leaking. Trees and branches can fall and create holes in your roof and leaves and debris can fill gutters and create pools of water on your roof and in your gutter which creates pressure. To avoid roof repair jobs caused by the surrounding environment ensure your gutters are cleared regularly and cut surrounding trees so that they are not hanging over the house.
4.   Faults: Many roof leaks come from faults or deterioration of vents, chimneys, fans and skylights. Check that they have been installed correctly and that seals are not broken.
5.   Poor Roof Construction: Unfortunately there are many unprofessional roofers out there who do not build roofs to the appropriate standards. This will become more apparent when things start to go wrong, such as of leaking roofs.
