Certain roof repairs are more urgent than others. But how do you know when emergency roof repair is necessary? We’ll discuss the main signs to look out for below. When your home needs emergency roof repair in Bergen County or throughout North Jersey, give the team at Top Roof a call, 24/7.
Missing Shingles After a Storm
If you’ve recently had a storm, it’s a good idea to inspect your roof. Strong winds can often tear shingles right off, especially with older roofs. Once the underside of your shingles is visible, leaks are not far off. Leaks that aren’t dealt with quickly can lead to mold growth and further damage to your home. It might be possible to repair a small piece of damaged shingles if only a few are missing, but if many are, you might need to replace the entire roof.
Damaged Flashing
Flashing is a thin, flat piece of metal that directs water away from areas of the roof that are most susceptible to water damage. You will need emergency roof repair if your flashing is damaged, rusted, or otherwise appears to be deteriorating since it could allow water to enter your property and cause further water damage.
There Has Been a Lot of Snow and Ice in the Area
When ice freezes, thaws, and refreezes, it can cause ice dams and erode your roof. Winter weather can cause major leaks if the ice thaws, slides underneath any loose shingles, then freezes and expands again. During the winter, keep an eye on your house or in the attic to make sure there aren’t any ice dams.
