With over three decades of experience, the Arizona-based roofing company Diversified
Roofing is sharing tips for homeowners on what to do before
repairing a roof leak and when to call in the experts.
PHOENIX, April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After an influx of calls
following rainy days in the past two months, the Phoenix, Arizona-based, family-owned business
Diversified Roofing is giving homeowners tips on what to do before
repairing a roof leak and when to call in the experts.
The locally owned company oversees an
average of 300 roof replacements per year, fields over 3000 calls
per year, and has a team of over 200 employees in the field that
help with all matters of residential, commercial and industrial
roofing projects.
"Some roof repairs you can do on your own without much
experience, and yet other times it's far better to bring in a
roofing professional, rather than making a bad situation worse,"
says Brad Nally, Vice President of
Diversified Roofing.

A few tips from Nally on what to do BEFORE you get out the
repair kit, include:
- Clean Your Gutters
This is one of the easiest ways to support leak prevention and
should be done about twice annually. This will not only keep any
unnecessary weight from pulling your gutter away from the roof
itself but can also prevent any abnormal water pathways that could
spill over against the roof.
- Remove Debris ASAP
Following heavy rain or wind, branches and other material might
fall onto your roof. Remove debris as quickly as possible or it may
obstruct water flow and cause water to pool on the roof, making it
easier for leaks to begin.
- Give It Time to Dry
Even though you may notice a leak in the middle of a storm, wait
until the roof is dry before attempting to pinpoint the problem.
This will prevent dangerous slips and the dangers of injuring
yourself.
- Look for Discoloration
One easy way to spot a leak is discoloration of drywall on your
interior walls and ceiling. They may appear darker and wet, even if
the roof is dry (another reason to give the roof time to dry
following a storm).
- Check the Weakest Spots
The edges of the roof and areas where the roof wraps around a
chimney or other structures are the weakest parts. Because they are
more likely to catch wind from the side, they are more susceptible
to damage or leakage.
- Don't Make Assumptions
It's always better to call an expert for an assessment rather than
make a guess on what the cause of a leak may be. Underlayment
damage, for example, can be a hidden source of leaks, said Nally,
and very tough to spot.
"Above all else, safety is our number one concern for homeowners
who call in," said Nally. "We offer free inspections for a reason.
And for situations like these, it's important to call an expert
rather than relying on a YouTube how-to video."
