Roof Repairs - Common Causes of Roof Problems
Minor roof deterioration that isn't detected in the earliest stages is probably the greatest cause of premature roof problems. This is particularly true of roofing materials applied on relatively low-sloped roofs.
All roofing materials deteriorate from exposure to the weather at rates determined largely by the kind of material and the conditions of exposure. In general, in-organic roofing materials tend to deteriorate at a slower pace from exposure than organic roofing materials. All types of roofing materials may be damaged by hail. Exposure to air pollutants and industrial or salt-laden atmospheres may accelerate the deterioration process of some roofing materials.
Roofing materials are subject to damage from strong winds and flying debris. Generally, roofs are not designed to withstand winds of tornado intensity, fortunately large tornadoes are not common in the UK. However, roofs may also be damaged by winds of moderate intensity, with gust that may reach 50 to 75 miles per hour. The primary cause of wind damage is from the partial vacuum created by wind blowing over the edge of the roof. Nature tries to neutralize the low-pressure area by bringing in air from a higher pressure area, usually from inside the building. This air pushes up on the bottom side of the roof assembly and, over time, loosens fasteners and breaks the adhesion making the roof susceptible to damage from the next moderate or strong wind. To counteract the effects of wind-uplift forces, the roofing and insulation should be adequately fastened to the roof deck, and a securely-fastened perimeter detail should be provided.
Troublesome and costly roofing problems are often the result of faulty initial design of the roof system. Poor design is often costly to correct, and usually can only be corrected during roof replacement. However, unless design deficiencies are discovered and corrected during roof repair or re-roofing, the problems relating to them most likely will recur.
Roof Repairs
Please click on a number above to see how to check for the danger signs.
1. Missing or loose slates or tiles let in rain which can cause costly damage to roof timbers and to other parts of the structure, apart from ruining your decorations. In addition, falling slates are particularly dangerous.
2. Ridges normally need attention more often than the rest of the roof. If the ridge is in a poor state, the whole roof should be thoroughly checked.
3. Valleys can be the first parts of a roof to leak. Valley welts and linings can fail and movement can create cracks and holes which are difficult to repair.
4. Flashing to hips, or where the roof joins an abutment or chimney, may be zinc, which can fail by corrosion or leakage at mortar joints, thus allowing water to penetrate. Defective flashings should be replaced with lead when you re-roof.
5. Cement or tile fillets are cheaper than lead flashing and are often used at abutments. But cracks are often caused by movement and frost action can lead to water penetration.
6. Copings can come loose and when deterioration is evident these should be re-bedded and re-pointed.
7. Blocked gutters impede the flow of water from a roof and will need repair.
8. Crumbling chimney stacks and loose chimney pots are dangerous and should be re-bedded and re-pointed to avoid further problems.
9. Flaking tiles caused by frost action.
