Common signs include water stains on interior ceilings or walls near chimneys, vents, or skylights, and visible gaps or rust on the metal flashing itself. In Granite City, temperature fluctuations and high winds can cause the sealing materials to degrade and metal to expand and contract, leading to separation. Prompt repair by a professional like Ryan Roofing Co is crucial to prevent water damage to your roof deck and home's interior.

The underlayment is a water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles. When it's damaged from storms, aging, or improper installation, it can lead to leaks, wood rot, and compromised insulation. Our repair process involves safely removing the affected shingles, inspecting the roof deck for rot, replacing the damaged underlayment section with a high-quality synthetic barrier, and reinstalling the shingles to match your existing roof, ensuring a seamless and watertight seal.

We recommend bi-annual inspections, especially after severe weather seasons common to our area. Key focuses include checking and clearing debris from valleys and gutters, ensuring flashings around penetrations are sealed, and looking for cracked or missing shingles. These simple steps can identify minor issues like early flashing wear or underlayment exposure before they become major leaks, saving you significant repair costs and protecting your home's value.
