COMMON SHINGLE ROOF REPAIRS
CRACKED TAR AROUND AC UNITS
AC units on a roof can cause major issues if not installed and protected properly. The unit itself must push a large amount of air through the roof into your home, creating the need for a large hole and a tube or elbow cutting directly through the roof. Imagine the elbows as large dams — preventing water from flowing down your roof. If the flange or elbow are not sealed properly, you can very easily get a leak at this point.
A common issue we find is that the original roofers only sealed on top of the shingles and the sheet metal. Over time, the metal heating and cooling equipment expands and contracts, causing separation between the sheet metal and the tar. Leaks easily occur because the tar was not also placed below the joint. It is actually recommended that you have your roof “touched up” every 5 years to prevent this type of leak. This is why it is so important to choose a professional like Johnson Roofing — 480-467-4572.
DAMAGED AND MISSING SHINGLES
Missing shingles is by far the most common issue on a shingle roof. Even though shingles may carry a warranty of up to 30 or more years, you can still end up with missing shingles. This can be caused by a multitude of reasons, including improper installation, poor quality of shingles or fasteners, and aging — most commonly a combination of two or more.
Shingles can be replaced, but once you lose one, you will more than likely lose additional shingles shortly after. Another consideration is that a shingle is difficult — if not impossible — to match in color exactly, due to dye lots at the factory and weathering. We often recommend fixing the immediate damage to prevent interior water damage, while also preparing for a full shingle replacement. This is why it is so important to choose a professional like Johnson Roofing — 480-467-4572.
