Spring: A Great Time for Roof Repair

It's generally accepted that Spring is one of the best times for a roof repair specialist to climb up onto the roof and check things out. After all, winter is one of the more harsh seasons, especially in the Minneapolis region of Minnesota. Shingles can be torn away from the roof by the rough conditions, and unless they're repaired or replaced in short order, you could experience some serious leaking.

Another benefit to having your roof checked out and repaired in the spring season is the weather. It could be warm out, but it won't be as burning hot as it would be if your repairs were taking place during the middle of the summer. When working on roofs with asphalt shingles, the heat can be especially brutal during the summer.

Flat Roof Repair: Finding the Leak

Another rain storm, another flat roof leak. At A-Plus Roofing, we know it can be especially problematic if you don't know where the leak is coming from. If you're having trouble locating the source of the leak(s), here are some ways to find out where it's coming from:

1. Observe
   This may take some planning, but the best way to find the problem is just to pay close attention. Watch the roof's underside when it's raining, and see if you can trace the water tail to the source. 
2. Spray
   Get a garden house and spray water in a patten on the roof. Have someone under the roof pay attention, and spray a small stream over the point where the dripping takes place. As you spray, there will be some runoff, so you won't have to spray in those areas. Take your time in doing this and pay close attention.
3. Infrared Leak Detection
   This will require hiring a flat roof professional, but your roof can be scan with infrared technology to find the leaks. Many will scan and detect every area where water is present, including through, wood, concrete and still.
