Your home is your castle! Sometimes your “castle” has a leak. Most times that leak is from your roof! A leak could go undetected for months, slowly dripping into your attic space. Which is all the more reason to act particularly quickly if your leak has become visible.
Living in Vancouver, our homes are no strangers to rain. If we lived in a drier climate a leaking roof would be less of a potential issue. If left unchecked, a leaking roof will cause mould; permanently ruin drywall; cause your rafters to rot; and even become an electrocution hazard!
Which naturally raises the question: “How do I know if I need roofing repairs, or a new roof?”
Well, you need to determine the age of your roof. A roof needs to be replaced roughly every 25 years. If you had your roofing repairs or new roof install done by Affordable Quality Roofing, it would be under warranty for that entire time!
If your roof is still under warranty, get the Vancouver roof repair company out to complete the roofing repairs.
If your roof is near the end of its life, it may be worth looking at replacing the roof, rather than spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a Vancouver roof repair, only to have to replace it shortly thereafter.
What about a flat roof repair? A flat roof repair is a totally different ball of wax so to speak. If your flat roof is leaking, it requires a specialized skill set to detect the leak. Flat roof repair also depends on the original materials. It is common for a flat roof to be torched on, in which case a flat roof repair is a little simpler, and likely won’t necessarily require a new roof. Either way, it is best to leave a flat roof repair up to the Vancouver roof repair specialists at AQR.
