Water infiltration through the roof can occur for several reasons, and the first step in repairing the roof is to find the place where the water found its way in. This is not an easy task, because often the water seeping on the wall or ceiling is far from the source of the infiltration itself.

Thus, in order to detect the source, a thorough inspection is necessary, to determine if there is a problem that can be repaired or if the roof needs to be replaced. The easiest way to do this is to climb into the attic and find the place where the water enters, by checking the integrity of the roof and of the insulation.

If the structure is not damaged, repairing the roof is not expensive and can be done in a short time. The best thing is to turn to the services of a team of Aurora roof repair specialists.

In general, water infiltration through the roof is caused by the following:

• Improper choice of roofing products, incompatible with the architecture of the house
• Roof slope angle: there are a lot of roofing solutions on the market that differ depending on the roof angle. For example, tiles suitable for a slope of 14 degrees will not be good for a different roof angle
• The age of the roof and, implicitly, its degradation
• Improper installation of sealing accessories
• Non-adaptation of coating solutions to local weather conditions.
