Common reasons for needing a roof repair:

• Lack of maintenance

• Weathering

• Wind damage

• Poor design

Lack of maintenance

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.

Weathering

All roofing materials deteriorate from exposure to the weather at rates determined largely by the kind of material and the conditions they are exposed to. All types of roofing materials may be damaged by hail.

 

Exposure to air pollutants and industrial or salt-laden air may accelerate the deterioration process of some roofing materials

Wind damage

Roofing materials are subject to damage from strong winds and flying debris. With storm gusts that may reach 50 to 80 miles per hour.

 

The primary cause of wind damage is from the partial vacuum created by wind blowing over the edge of the roof. Over time this can loosen fasteners and breaks the adhesion making the roof susceptible to damage from the next moderate or strong wind.

Poor design

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.
