Causes of a Leaky Roof

It is important to understand what can cause a leaky roof and to watch for any signs of water entering your home. Water coming through your roof can cause significant damage to your home and create the need for costly repairs. Some of the most common causes of a leaking roof include:

• The roof has reached the end of its life: All roofs have a lifespan. As your roof reaches the end of its life it will begin to deteriorate and allow water to pass through.

• Fallen tree limb: If you have tree limbs hanging over your roof it is important to trim them back. Falling tree limbs can cause minor to significant damage to your roof.
