Where Can Spot a Roof Leak?
- Vents of Plumbing System: Leaks often start in the vent pipe that allows air into the plumbing system. This can happen if the rubber boot covering the vent is worn or torn, or if the metal or plastic base has a crack or broken seam. These issues can be resolved by replacing the boot, base, and nails. If any of these problems occur, water can seep into your roof through the pipe.
- Walls: Roof leaks can also originate from walls. While inspecting the roof for leaks, make sure to examine the areas around windows, corner boards, and siding for any cracks, damage, or holes.
-
Soffits and Fascia: Look for water damage or rot on
the soffits and fascia boards in every room. Or check for signs of
animal nests or debris.
Chimneys and Skylights: You should check the flashing and seals around the chimneys and skylights. And also try to find out any cracks or gaps in the seals.
The Process of Roof Leak Restoration
- Inspection and Assessment: Our first step is a thorough inspection to identify the source of the leak and assess the damage. This includes checking for common issues like damaged shingles, poor flashing, and water entry points around chimneys and vents.
- Roof Repair or Replacement: Based on the assessment, ServiceMaster will recommend either repairs or a complete roof replacement. Minor damage may only require patching, while extensive damage might necessitate replacing an entire roof.
- Water Extraction & Drying: If water has penetrated the structure, immediate water extraction and drying are critical. This step involves using advanced equipment to remove water and dry the affected areas to prevent mold growth and further damage.
- Mold Remediation: Any presence of mold due to the leak is addressed next. Our certified specialists will identify and eliminate mold to ensure the environment is safe.
- Restoration and Reconstruction: After the leak is repaired and the area is dried, we will begin the restoration. This involves repairing any structural damage and restoring the affected areas.
