We often make the assumption that water in our home, especially on our ceiling, is a roof leak. Although that is often the issue, as a Nashville roof repair company, we know the roof itself isn’t always the reason behind the leak. Sometimes you need siding repair in Nashville or to seal your windows. If you have water coming into your home and suspect a roof leak, don’t put off calling an experienced roofing company as soon as possible.

Your Roof is More than Just Shingles

There are some signs with your shingles that indication you should call a Nashville roof repair company like missing shingles, bent, curled or misaligned shingles. However, your roof leak may not be because of your shingles. Poorly sealed flashing is a big cause of water damage in homes. Flashing lays along the roof protrusions like dormers and chimneys. It needs sealing along its top edge and that sealant must be maintained about every three to five years.

Siding Can Leak Too

Siding that isn’t properly attached to the house can lead to a leak. If it’s on an upper story, it can look like a roof leak. Poorly attached flashing requires siding repair in Nashville while cracked or broken siding may need to be replaced.

Gutters Cause Issues

Although a gutter leak doesn’t often lead to water in your home, they can create a leak. Poorly attached gutters, clogged gutters and improperly sloped ones can damage your fascia which is the board behind the gutters that attaches your roof to your house. Rotting fascia needs replacing by a Nashville roof repair company.
