Common Causes of Seattle Roof Damage


A roof is maybe the most vital aspect of any home. It physically protects you, your family and personal property from the outside elements. A failing roof does more than just compromise your comfort. It can lead to expensive damage elsewhere in your home, like mold, water damage and personal property damage.


Unfortunately, many Seattle homeowners don’t think about their roof until there’s a problem. There are several potential roof damage causes, including wind, ice dams, hail and inescapable aging. The abundance of rain in Seattle and the PNW areas mean faulty roofs inevitably leak and cause water damage in attics, ceilings and the walls of your home causing roof repair needs.


Common causes of roof damage & roof repairs in Seattle include:

Heavy Seattle rain: Rain can damage your roofing over time and worsen existing damage.

Excessive wind: Heavy wind can tear, rip off or loosen your roof’s shingles, which will likely cause a leak.

Debris: If your home is surrounded by trees, the foliage and broken branches can create a buildup of debris which, over time, can damage the shingles.

Clogged gutters: Gutters that haven’t been cleaned out and are filled with debris can cause water to dam up and soak into the roof.

Moss: Moss is often overlooked, but its steady growth can result in holes and leaks in your roof.

Critters: The presence of moss can attract insects and rodents to your roof. These pests tend to look for shelter under the roof’s shingles and fascia boards.

Inevitable wear and tear: If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (usually between 20 and 30 years), it may be damaged by the decades and need a full replacement.

Can You Help With Roof Repair Insurance Claims?


Yes – we can help document your roof damage and help you justify a wind damage, hail damage or storm damage roof claim. Claims adjusters are not roofers, and we might spot something they miss or help you explain why getting roof repairs or a roof replacement is necessary to protect your home and prevent more expensive home damage in the future.



What Are the Roof Repair Dangers of a Leaky Roof?

Even the smallest leak may cause damage and lead to roof repairs or safety and health hazards, including:



Compromised structural integrity: Water-damaged roof shingles and framing can end up damaging your attic, ceiling and walls.


Fire hazard: A leaking roof can cause damage to electrical systems and pose a serious fire risk. If you suspect an electrical short circuit due to water damage, turn off electricity and call an electrician for help.


Mold and mildew: A leaking roof can cause mold and mildew to spread inside your home. Mold and mildew can cause serious health problems, including allergies and asthma. Mold remediation can be extremely expensive and may not always be covered by insurance Preventing it with roof repairs or replacement is always preferable.


Higher utility bills: Water intrusion can damage your home’s insulation, resulting in reduced efficiency and higher utility bills. A drafty roof and attic may also lead to the loss of heated air during the winter.


If your roof has a leak, don’t put off repairs. Chronic water intrusion may pose significant safety and health hazards and can become increasingly expensive to repair the longer they persist.
