Fixing Roof Problems Caused by Satellite Dishes and Antennas
Sometimes the latest technology becomes outdated, or worse, can actually cause expensive problems. That’s the case for most satellite dishes and antennas mounted on roofs today.
These old devices can be mounted onto the roof to catch television signals, but with modern day cabling, wireless internet and streaming services they are now mostly obsolete eye sores that can cause roof damage. If that’s the case at your property you’ll need to know what kind of damage satellites and antennas can cause and the best solution for making repairs.

Repairing Satellite and Antenna Installation Roof Damage
The good news is satellite and antenna damage is usually isolated to a small area rather than the entire roof. No roof replacement should be needed. However, some types of damage, like roof leaks, can cause the damage to spread and become more extensive.
Even though it may seem like a small issue that can be solved with a DIY fix, the better option is to enlist the help of a professional roofing contractor.
Inspecting the Roof
Repairing the damage from a satellite dish or antenna starts with a roof inspection to figure out how much you have to repair. If you are planning on removing the hardware, then an inspection will also help the roofer determine the best way to get it gone without causing more damage.
Repairing the Roof Damage
Repairing roof damage from a satellite or antenna begins with removal. Once the equipment is out of the way you can get to work repairing the damage.
If you caught the problem early the damage should be minimal. You’ll likely be repairing a leak, replacing damaged shingles and securing loose materials. When there’s a leak the damage could extend further down to the roof deck. In those instances the top layer of roofing material will need to be removed to access the roof deck and replace the damaged portion.
Still need to use a satellite or antenna? To avoid future leaks roof professionals should reinstall the satellite or antenna.
Maintaining a Durable Roof
Even after the satellite or antenna has been removed you’ll still need to keep an eye on what’s happening above the roof’s edge. Regular inspections and roof maintenance will let you know if there are other issues impacting the roofing system.
