What to Do When Roofing Fasteners Fail
Roofing fasteners is the technical name for roofing screws and nails that keep roofing materials in place. They are the smallest component of a roof, but they are critical for its performance. As simple as they seem, big issues can happen if the roof fasteners fail.
You may not be able to see the condition of the roofing fasteners from the ground, but you might see the signs of failing fasteners. If the roofing material is coming loose or you spot signs of a leaking roof, both are indicators that the fasteners are failing.
Material incompatibility could be a roofing issue that impacts the entire roof or a certain aspect of it. Either way, when roofing materials are incompatible the problem needs to be corrected before it causes serious damage.

What to Do If Your Roofing Fasteners Are Failing
Failing fasteners happen from time to time. It’s a pretty common problem that may not seem like a huge deal, however, it can have an impact on the roof’s integrity and longevity. This is the case whether it’s residential roofs made of asphalt shingles or flat roofs with TPO.
Fortunately, there are solutions for correcting a poor installation so that fasteners won’t fail.

Have a Professional Inspect the Roof
To know for sure if roofing fasteners are failing you need to get a close look. This is a job best left to a professional that will know if the fasteners are installed properly, usually just by looking at the condition and placement.
The roofer should also look for leaks and diagnose the cause for the fastener failure.

Fix the Fasteners
The fix for fastener failure depends on the issue. When you have some loose screws that are otherwise in good condition they probably just need to be tightened down. Screws that were installed crooked may just need to be reset. However, if the fasteners are corroded or damaged they’ll need to be replaced. The same is true for fasteners that aren’t the correct size.
If needed the roofing contractor can provide extra reinforcement by sealing around the fastener. This will help further safeguard against leaks.
The roofers at LOA can fix fasteners in a jiff! Our highly trained professionals can spot fastener problems and will provide roofing solutions that are affordable and effective. If you live in the Austin, TX area, give us a call at 512-375-3654.
