A damaged and leaking roof has to be treated with care. Depending on where the leak is and where it originates, you might find the job of fixing it to be more or less difficult. Here are a few tips that should help you get better results overall:

1. Start by looking for the leak. It could originate around a faulty piece of flashing, a damaged or missing shingle, or in a less common area of the roof.

2. Once you located the leak, make sure you have the right materials to fix it. You might need to replace the damaged piece of flashing with a new one, or scrape off the old shingles to install replacement ones.

3. While you’re replacing the roofing materials, make sure you’re using the right materials or tools to get the job done. Some types of roofing cement might not stick properly if the temperature is too low, and in other cases you might have to remove a few more shingles if the roof needs some structural fixes as well.

If the work is too difficult or you don’t know how to approach it, call on your local Centennial roofing professionals for support or to get it done for you. Fixing a leak will not cost a lot, and in some cases it’s better to be done by a professional, than to risk your roof succumbing to additional damage.
