Anthony's Rubber Roofing and Demolition | Roofing Services in Reading, PA

Unfortunately, yes. In Reading's climate, repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause significant water intrusion that damages roof decking and underlying structures. A surface leak often signals deeper problems. We can perform a targeted exterior surface and wall demolition to safely remove the compromised sections, assess the damage, and install a new, watertight rubber roof system designed to prevent future leaks.

It can, especially if water has seeped into ceilings, walls, or insulation. Simply resealing the skylight might not address hidden moisture damage inside your home. Our process often involves careful interior demolition around the leak area to remove wet, mold-prone materials like drywall and insulation. This allows us to fully dry the structure, repair any rot in the roof framing, and then properly flash and install a new skylight or roofing membrane to create a permanent seal.

Total demolition is typically a last resort but may be required for older homes or severe cases where widespread water damage from chronic leaks has critically compromised the home's structural integrity. If the roof rafters, trusses, or load-bearing walls are extensively rotted, a safe, controlled total demolition may be the most prudent option. We then rebuild from the ground up with a new, structurally sound roof designed to handle local weather, giving you a completely secure and modern home.
