Roof Leak Repair in Albuquerque, NM

Roof Leak Repair in Albuquerque, NM

A roof leak can be one of the most frustrating experiences in life, and given the hundreds of calls we receive after a big storm, it’s sadly all too common. If you have a roof leak, we have crews standing by twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to make the water stop and get things back on track. We can service all different roof types. If you didn’t buy your roof from us, no problem! We repair far more roofs that we didn’t install than ones we did.

If you’re the proactive sort and want to stop your next leak before water damages the interior of your building, please consider our roof maintenance plans.

Why You Can’t Ignore a Leaking Roof

A roof leak is a serious issue that you can’t ignore. If left unaddressed, a leaky roof can cause a range of problems to your home or building’s interior.

Ignoring the problem will only make it worse over time and result in more costly repairs. Addressing a roof leak as soon as possible is important to avoid these negative consequences and protect your investment.

Here are a few reasons why you should not ignore a leaking roof:

Water Damage and Mold Growth

Ignoring a leaking roof can result in water damage because water can seep into the walls, ceilings, and insulation, causing rot and degradation over time. If the water is not properly dried and disinfected, mold can also grow and spread, creating an unhealthy environment.

Poor Air Quality and Higher Utility Bills

A leaky roof can also lead to poor air quality in your home or building. If water penetrates the insulation, it can cause the growth of mold and other allergens, reducing indoor air quality and leading to health problems.

Moreover, if water penetrates electrical systems, it can cause electrical issues, increasing your utility bills.

Potential Insurance Issues

Insurance companies may refuse to pay for water damage or mold growth claims if it is discovered that an ignored leak in the roof caused the damage. This means that the cost of repairs will fall on you, which can be expensive and financially devastating.

Decreased Property Value 

Neglecting a leaking roof can also decrease the value of your property. A damaged or mold-infested home is less attractive to potential buyers, which can reduce the value of your property and make it harder to sell in the future.

Signs of a Leaking Roof

What is your roof telling you? There are many reasons for a roof leak. Home and business owners should have their roofs inspected regularly by a professional roofing contractor to identify potential leaks and ensure the roof is in good condition.

Prompt repairs can also extend the roof’s lifespan and protect the building’s investment. Some signs of a leaking roof include:

Missing Shingles

Shingles serve as the first line of defense against water infiltration. If missing, water can penetrate the roofing material and seep into the building.

Some causes of missing shingles include:

  • Wind damage
  • Improper installation

Water Spots on Walls and Ceiling 

Water spots on walls and ceiling can be a clear indication of a leak in the roof. These spots may appear as dark stains, discoloration, or bubbling on the surface. Water spots can lead to further damage to the walls and ceiling.

Roof Rot

Roof rot occurs when water repeatedly infiltrates the roofing assembly and is not allowed to dry out. If not addressed, moisture can cause wood to rot which weakens the roof’s structural integrity and can lead to further damage. In some cases where adequate ventilation is provided in the roof assembly, stopping the moisture intrusion will resolve the issue.  In extreme cases, replacement of the wood sheathing or joists is required along with the addition of proper ventilation to prevent future moisture build-up.

Damaged Flashing

Flashing is a metal component used to seal the seams between the roof and other building components, such as chimneys, skylights, and vents. If the flashing is damaged, water can penetrate the roofing material and cause a leak.

Roof Leak Repair Options

Once you have identified the source of the leak, there are several options for repairing it, depending on the extent of the damage:

  • Sealant: A roofing sealant can be applied to prevent water infiltration for small cracks or holes.
  • Patching: For larger holes or missing shingles, a patch can be applied to cover the damaged area and prevent water from entering.
  • Flashing repair: If the flashing is damaged, roofing experts can repair or replace it to prevent water from infiltrating the roof.
  • Roof replacement: If the damage to the roof is extensive, a full roof replacement may be necessary.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

This is the best roofing company! I tried calling another place first and they didn't even seem like they wanted to help, they told me I had to wait before they could come out. When I called National Roofing, the lady that answered was very nice and courteous and made me feel like she cared and that she was going to help me right away. I spoke to her and she had someone come out to look at the damage on my roof. They took care of me and gave me a reasonable price for the work done. Thank you so much! You guys are the best! I will be recommending my friends and coworkers to call you when they need you!

We live in Corrales and, for many reasons, had wanted a durable, water- and critter-proof, fire-resistant membrane roof. Well, we have one now and are very glad that National Roofing did the installation. Our house has a multi-level roof, 20 canales, parapets and some curved walls. National laid the PVC membrane, wrapped it over the parapets, totally lined the canales and negotiated the curved walls (and vents and pipes). They did a wonderful job. We recommend them highly.
