leaky roof needs to be totally replacedA leaky roof is a serious problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible to keep the damage from getting worse. Sometimes only limited repairs are necessary, but in many cases, a leaky roof needs to be totally replaced. The only way to find out how serious the damage is and what needs to be done is to have a roofing professional conduct a thorough inspection.

Why You May Need to Replace Your Leaky Roof

Roof damage often turns out to be more significant than it first appears. Even if you spot a leak and act quickly, it may already be too late. There may be damage beneath the surface that has been building up over time, and the roof may be in such bad shape that it needs to be totally replaced.

If your roof is at or near the end of its lifespan, it’s best to replace the entire roof rather than try to fix it. Under some circumstances, it might be possible to make repairs to one area, but you’ll probably need to have another section repaired a short time afterward. Rather than spend money on a series of repairs, you can totally replace the leaky roof and not have to worry about further problems.

Replacing a roof can be expensive, but ignoring a leak or waiting to contact a local roofing company is not a solution. A roof leak that isn’t addressed will undoubtedly get worse. If water gets beneath the shingles, it can cause significant structural damage and mold, which can put your family’s health at risk.
