What Causes Roof Leaks?

Your roof fortifies the structural integrity of your home. As the first line of defense against harsh weather condition, it should always be in good condition. Once it becomes leaky, however, it can cause problems, not to mention a greater investment of time and money. Nuss Construction Company, your trusted roofing provider, discusses the common causes of roof leaks.

Broken Shingles

This is one of the easiest roof problems to spot. When you notice patches of colors on your roof, some of your shingles are most likely missing. Shingle blowoff is typically caused by high winds and heavy rains.

Using Nuss Construction Company for your home improvement project ensures quality. We only provide high-end products. Our strengthened partnership with GAF has enabled us to deliver their Timberline® Shingles line, the top-selling shingle brand in North America. Each shingle is guaranteed to withstand winds up to 130 mph via a wind speed coverage that requires special installation of DuraGrip™ Adhesive seals.

Walking on Roofs and DIY Repairs

Roofs are sensitive and fragile. If you often go on your roof to retrieve a frisbee or kite, you might be stepping on a crucial roof element while causing more cracks on an already broken seal.

Pursuing a do-it-yourself roof repair can also cause more water leakage in your home. The massive amount of information available on the internet encourages homeowners to do their own roof repairs without professional assistance. What homeowners don’t understand is that they can cause more damage to their roof, especially without the proper tools and equipment.

At Nuss Construction Company, we encourage our clients to seek professional roofing services for their problematic roofing systems to avoid further damage. Even a slight roof issue can have a rippling effect to your home. Our licensed and certified roofers will ensure high-quality roofing installation or repair.

Aside from our roofing services, we also offer sturdy and stylish replacement windows that will suit your home’s overall interior design. Call us at (856) 988-9982 to learn more. We serve residents of Medford, NJ, and surrounding areas.
