Roof Leak Repair in La Habra, California

The first winter storm finds the weak spots. The flashing that was sealed in the spring has cracked in the summer heat, and the water runs behind the metal. Roof leak repair in La Habra means finding the leak at the source and sealing it before the damage spreads.

Signs of a Roof Leak in La Habra

• Water stains on the ceiling — the most obvious sign
• Dripping water during or after the rain — the leak is active
• Musty smell in the attic — the moisture has been building up
• Wet or damp attic insulation — the water ran down the rafters
• Peeling paint near the ceiling — the moisture is working through

Why La Habra Roofs Leak

The flashing is the most common cause. The chimney, the vents, and the skylight penetrations are sealed with the metal flashing and the caulk. The summer heat bakes the sealant, and the thermal cycling from the warm days and the cool nights expands and contracts the metal. The sealant cracks, and the winter rain finds the gap.

The age of the roof is the second cause. The tract homes have shingles that are past their life, and the water gets through the worn surface.
