If your metal roof was installed years ago using nails or lower-quality screws, it might be time to give it some attention. Older fasteners can loosen over time, leading to leaks that often go unnoticed—until they’ve caused significant damage.
Why Older Metal Roofs Start Leaking and How to Prevent Metal Roof Leaks
Metal roofs secured with nails or poor-quality screws are prone to letting in small amounts of water over time. At first, the damage may not be visible, but as water seeps into the wood beneath, it gradually causes rot and weakens the structure.
After about ten years, this minor issue can turn into a significant problem. When it’s time to replace those nails or screws, you might find that the wood underneath is too soft to hold them securely.
Here’s How We Fix It
If your roof is showing these signs of wear, don’t worry—we have two effective solutions to prevent metal roof leaks.
1. Install a Brand New Roof
Replacing your roof allows for fresh screw placement, avoiding any worn-out holes. This ensures a secure and watertight roof that will last for years to come.
2. Reuse Your Existing Roofing
If the metal panels on your roof are still in good condition, we can shift them slightly and reattach them using new screws. By moving the panels, we avoid the damaged spots and secure them into fresh wood, creating a reliable seal without the need for a full roof replacement.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Even if your roof looks fine now, a nailed-on metal roof is almost certainly letting in small amounts of water. Addressing this early can save you from extensive—and costly—repairs down the line.
