LEAKING ROOF PROBLEMS
If you suspect you have a leaky roof, its
important to act fast. Water damage over time can
be costly not just to the roof, but to the
entire home. One of the first signs of a leaky
roof is a water stain, maybe in a ceiling or an
exterior wall. An early sign of a leaky roof
might also be missing or buckling shingles.

SOLUTIONS
A roofing contractor will help you find the
source of the problem and fix it. Spotting a
leak can be a scary thing for a homeowner. As a
preventive measure, you may want to have your
roof examined once a year to ensure its in the
best shape.
5
ROOF FLASHING PROBLEMS
Faulty roof flashing can be another reason why
your roof is leaking and should be repaired
promptly. Roof flashing is a weatherproof barrier
between the different joints in the roof, such
as near the chimney. Over time, the it can warp
or become damaged.
6
SOLUTIONS
Some roof flashing fixes can be done yourself
with a patching material you can pick up at your
local hardware store. However, depending on the
height and pitch of the roof, you may want to
contact a professional who can complete the job
safely. Also, a regular roof inspection will help
to identify any damage to your flashing before
it becomes a problem.
7
MOSS ON ROOF
Moss can severely damage the structural
integrity to any type of roof. Moss absorbs the
moisture from the damp environment and
establishes roots on your roof causing the
beginning of roof degradation. This eventually
can lead to holes in your roof and leaks into
your home
8
SOLUTIONS
Remove moss with a garden water hose and by hand
scraping. Using a pressure washer can cause even
more damage to your roof, so avoid unless youre
a skilled professional. Moss control powder. This
is one of the best ways to remove moss from
roofs. Trim tree branches from the roof area to
prevent further moss growth.

PIGEON PROBLEMS ON ROOF
Of all the critters that might call a roof home,
pigeons are the most likely ones. Many like to
make their nest in your overhangs, vents or
joints. While they may seem harmless at first,
the debris they bring can damage your roof and
gutters, not to mention their waste will make
your roof look dirty.
10
SOLUTIONS
Block off any potential nesting spots on your
roof. Some homeowners invest in a fake owl or
predator bird, as this often helps scare them
away. Use an Ultrasonic Repeller Block Out
Pigeons Use Bird Gel Repellent Hang Scare
Reflectors Install an Automatic Water Jet
11
ROOF VENTILATION PROBLEMS
Proper roof ventilation is needed in any climate
for overall temperature control throughout your
home, specifically in the attic. Older homes may
not have the proper ventilation needed to
maintain temperature control for both the attic
and the roof. This can cause issues for the roof
as the weather changes.
12
SOLUTIONS

• There are many roofing vents available that
  function differently.
• Contact a roofing contractor who can help you
  find the right solution for your home.
