Roof Repair Salt Lake City: Common Roof Maintenance

April 7, 2023

Every season comes with its challenges for roof maintenance, but few people would argue that winter weather can do the greatest damage to your roof. As we transition out of winter into spring, we can easily see any damage that the snow was covering up. At Patriot Roofing, our mission is to keep your home protected and safe, so we know the importance of roof repair in Salt Lake City in the spring and throughout the year.

 

In this article, we’re taking a look at some of the most common Salt Lake City roof repair needs that we encounter after the winter.

 

Missing, Loose, or Broken Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing in our area, so it’s no surprise that they feature in our common roof repairs. Heavy snow, ice, and strong winds can all cause missing, loose, or broken shingles. It can be difficult to spot problems with individual shingles in the winter while your roof is covered in snow. Once the snow melts, it’s a good idea to check your roof for any damaged shingles. For a thorough check of your roof, have a professional roofer do a roof inspection for you.

 

Leaks and Damaged Flashing

Missing or damaged shingles expose the underlayment of your roof, which can lead to leaks. Damaged flashing is also a common cause of a leaky roof. Flashing is the material that seals the roof edges, valleys, and chimneys. Prolonged exposure to the elements can damage or corrode the flashing, causing leaks. You might notice a leak before the spring, but it can be hard to identify the source while your roof is covered in snow.

 

Ventilation Issues

Ventilation is an area of roof repair that homeowners often overlook. Air needs to be able to flow through your roof to allow moisture to evaporate. Without proper ventilation, moisture can build up between the layers of your roof or in your attic. That can result in mold growth and water damage.
