R & M Roofing | Roofing Services in Batavia, OH 45103

The fastest temporary solution is to contain the water inside and mitigate damage, but the most important step is to call a professional for an emergency inspection. At R & M Roofing, we prioritize storm-related calls to quickly locate the source of the leak—often a damaged shingle, compromised flashing, or a puncture from debris. We'll provide a secure temporary patch to prevent further water entry until we can schedule a permanent, weather-tight repair using materials suited for our local conditions.

Ice dams form due to heat escaping from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. This cycle is common in our winters and can force water under shingles, causing leaks and damage. Fixing them requires a two-part approach: First, we repair any immediate water damage and remove the dam safely. Second, and most importantly, we address the root cause by improving attic insulation and ventilation. This long-term solution prevents future dams and protects your roof's structure.

This depends on the extent of the damage, the age of your roof, and the condition of the underlying decking. Our comprehensive inspection will give you a clear answer. For localized damage from a single storm or ice dam, a targeted repair is often sufficient. However, if the damage is widespread, there are multiple leak points, or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a replacement may be the more reliable and cost-effective choice. We'll provide a detailed, honest assessment and explain all your options.
