A leak may involve damaged roofing, flashing or a penetration rather than a problem across the entire roof.
During inspection, the affected interior area is compared with likely entry points on the roof.
This is particularly useful when water appears beside an exterior wall, plumbing vent or other roof transition.
Shingle Roof Repair
Localized shingle damage may be repairable when the surrounding courses remain in good condition.
The repair needs enough workable material around it to integrate replacement shingles without causing additional breakage.
Metal Roof Service
Rio Bravo properties with metal roofs can be inspected for:
- seam problems;
- exposed fasteners where applicable;
- flashing;
- penetration leaks;
- panel damage;
- roof-edge conditions.
The repair method depends on the type of panel system installed.
Roof Replacement
Replacement should be considered when the roof has multiple failure areas, widespread deterioration or a history of repeated repairs.
The project can then address deck condition, underlayment, flashing and new roofing together.
Storm Inspection
If wind or hail has affected the roof, visible conditions can be inspected and documented.
Missing roofing is obvious, but roof edges, exposed metal components and flashing may also deserve attention.
