Roof Repairs
When it comes to a damaged roof, the first thing homeowners consider is whether they should repair the leaks or replace the roof. A professional roofer inspection will provide the answer to this fundamental question. Following that, you will see the steps to find the correct answer.
Roof leaks are common in the northern areas of Memphis and Mississippi. Strong storms and winds constantly hit these areas. Thus, when local homeowners discover leaks in their roofs, they often panic. They know that a minor roof leak can escalate into a grave issue if not addressed promptly.
So, questions such as these arise:
- How much damage can my roof sustain?
- Will it endanger my roofing and insulation?
- What kind of long-term damage could this roof leak cause?
- Not to mention how much repairing or replacing a roof might cost.
We follow a principle at Kreunen Construction. Every leak has the potential to harm your roof. Thus, it is critical to repair it as soon as possible.
Yet, some homeowners neglect roofing maintenance and leak repairs, only to discover a roof leak during the next rainstorm. So, performing periodic roof inspections will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Besides, temperature changes, strong winds, rain, and the sun are damaging to roofs. These factors contribute to the deterioration of roofing materials.
Roof leaks are the most common cause of water stains spreading through ceilings or walls. Small leaks become significant problems. For example, you can have rotten molds, frames and siding, and damaged insulation.
But, if you address roof leaks promptly, you will avoid future costly repairs.
Now, we will discuss two factors that make houses more prone to roof leaks.
Common Factors that Cause Roof Leaks
- Your roof’s chimney: homes with fireplaces have a higher rate of roof leaks. Water can get into the chimney. Moreover, their external structure tends to retain water, which leads to leaks. Thus, hire a professional roofer to inspect your roof regularly.
- Your home’s attic: a poorly ventilated attic will cause roof leaks. Water can freeze in this place. When the attic temperature rises sufficiently, meltwater pools all over the roof. Is your roof leaking? Possibly it has been leaking for some time.
At Kreunen Construction, we know how crucial keeping your roofing system in good condition is. That is why we focus on determining your roof’s state and tell you how to repair the leaks.
After that, we will walk you through the steps we take before beginning your roofing repair.

Our representative will need to gather some information about your roofing system. He will inquire about your roof’s age, the location of any discovered roof leaks, previous leak repairs, and so on.
Also, he will need to enter your home to look for any ceiling stains you may have missed. Our representative will also check your home’s exterior. He will look for any other roof-related issues visible from the ground.
As we said before, chimneys frequently are the source of roof leaks. A poor repair made with cheap materials will cost you more money in the long run.
- Third Step: We inspect your attic and get on your roof
Your field representative will now request access to your attic. He will look for leaks, moisture, and any signs of recent roof decking damage. Additionally, he must investigate past water damage from roof leaks.
A thorough roofing inspection cannot conclude without climbing onto your roof.
In this step, your field representative will climb to your home’s roof and inspect it. He will list any problems with your roof and determine why water is getting into your home. Later, your Kreunen Construction representative will discuss with you every discovered roofing issue.
Then, your representative will give you his recommendations and the repair cost. You can discuss your options with your Kreunen construction representative. He will tell you the most cost-effective option for repairing or replacing your roof.
This decision depends on the roofing damage extent and your options. Other factors include your roof’s projected useful life and whether the damage requires an insurance claim.
