Roof & Foundation Repair

FAQ

What causes roof leaks?

A leaky roof can cause damage to the interior of your home and its contents. If not addressed immediately it can also lead to more costly repairs down the road. Here’s some of the most common causes and fixes of roof leaks:

Apply new roofing sealant and caulking to worn and eroded areas
Unclog your eavestroughs with your hose and a curved, water-fed pole
Install heat cables in your eavestroughs to prevent ice dams in winter
Replace any damaged or missing roof shingles
Replace any raised or corroded roofing nails
Inspect your chimney for cracks and replace any worn chimney flashing
Replace any damaged roof flashing
Replace the flashing around any skylights

How do you find a leak in your roof?

In addition to an actual leak, bulging drywall, musty odours, and water stains on your ceiling are all signs that water is penetrating your roof. However, the leak may not be immediately above the area in question. To find out where the leak is coming from use your garden hose to wet one section of your roof at a time. Then go inside to check for water, new stains, wet walls etc.

How do you fix foundation cracks?

Most foundation cracks are harmless and simply the result of the foundation settling slightly over time. Vertical and horizontal cracks are generally of this nature and can be repaired with an epoxy or polyurethane injection filler. A horizontal crack could indicate a more serious structural problem and should be inspected by a professional.
