Roof Repair & Replacement.. What causes a roof to leak in Dallas / Fort Worth, TX
Why does my roof leak? Roofs Leak for a variety of reasons: Sometimes you just simply need roof sealant over old flashings. However, Improper installation, and lack of maintenance are the main causes. Storm Damage is another cause of your roof to leak.
​
Pipe Flashings:
1.) PVC "Soil stacks" pipe flashings frequently leak due to improper installation techniques
2.) Type B Gas Vent Flashings also leak due to old silicone, rusted roof flashings, and improper installation. They can also leak through no fault of the previous contractor due to basic thermal expansion or house movement.
Chimney Leaking:
If you have a wood or fiber cement chimney, and it's leaking it is likely leaking at the trim, or the flashing. If the chimney trim is bad your roof will leak. Good Guys Roofing can repair your trim or the flashing. To replace a leaking chimney flashing, we will need to remove the shingles and the wood or fiber cement (James Hardie or Allura siding) to access the flashing. We will then replace the shingles, flashing, and install new siding and paint your chimney.
​
Roof Vent Repair or Replacement:
Some plastic roof vents leak if they become damaged from hail or crack from thermal expansion. We recommend installing metal roof vents with metal base flashing with every new roof replacement.
