This is a very common issue in our area due to Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles. Snow and ice accumulate on your roof, and as they melt, water can seep into tiny cracks or under compromised shingles. If your roof's underlayment (the water-resistant barrier beneath the shingles) is damaged or aging, this meltwater can find its way into your home. We perform thorough inspections to locate these vulnerable points and repair both the surface and underlying layers to prevent recurring leaks.

Key signs include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, especially near the roof's edge or around chimneys and vents. You might also notice granules from your asphalt shingles in your gutters, which indicates wear. From the outside, curling, buckling, or missing shingles are red flags. Since underlayment damage is often hidden, we recommend a professional inspection, particularly after a severe storm or heavy winter, to assess the integrity of this critical protective layer.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend biannual inspections, ideally in late fall to prepare for winter and in spring to assess any winter damage. Keep gutters and downspouts clear to ensure proper drainage and prevent ice dams. Trim overhanging tree branches that could drop debris or cause damage in a storm. If you notice any missing shingles or minor leaks, address them immediately before they lead to more extensive underlayment or structural issues. Our team can set up a maintenance plan to keep your roof in top condition year-round.
