Is Your Roof Leaking?
Many, many times I’ve been called to a job because of a suspected roof leak, only to find that, in fact, the water intrusion is coming from another source; skylights, mortar cracks around chimneys, windows, stucco walls, etc.
The single most important aspect of leak repair is to determine exactly the source of the intrusion.
Once the determination is made, the proper steps must be taken to fix the problem. They can involve skylight replacement, repair of mortar, re-caulking of windows, sealing of cracks in stucco, or whatever the true cause of the intrusion may be, the operative word being “true”.
So, how is the determination made?
Well, you should call a licensed roofing contractor, who in most cases will be able to pinpoint the problem, no matter what it is in relation to the roof. Once the actual cause is determined, your contractor will be able to estimate the cost of the repair, or, if is other than the roof, he’ll be able to recommend the right person to call to mitigate the problem.
Finally, once all has been said and done, make sure that the repair is warranted.
Remember, for all types of roofing repairs, maintenance, etc. call Raneri and Long. We’ll tell you the truth, and treat you right!
