The repair process depends on the extent of the damage. We start with a thorough inspection to assess any water intrusion, damaged shingles, and compromised underlayment. For minor issues, we may replace affected materials and reinforce the area. For more significant damage, we might recommend a section replacement to ensure proper sealing and prevent future leaks. Proper attic insulation and ventilation are also key to preventing future ice dams.

Underlayment is your roof's secondary water barrier. In Caseyville, with our freeze-thaw cycles and potential for ice dams, it's critical. If water gets past the shingles, the underlayment is there to stop it. When it's damaged or aged, water can seep into the decking and structure, causing rot and interior damage. We check its condition during every inspection and recommend replacement if it's no longer providing that essential backup protection.

Look for signs inside and outside. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings or walls, especially in the attic, or mold/mildew growth. Outside, look for missing or cracked shingles, sagging roof lines, or granules collecting in gutters (from worn shingles). Often, the damage isn't directly at the edge. If you suspect issues, we recommend a professional inspection. We can identify even subtle water trails and assess the underlayment's condition to give you a clear picture.
