When Your Roofing Material Has a Tear You Need Roof Repairs
A roof puncture is a tear in the roofing materials that’s the result of pressure. It could be from a sharp object hitting the roof or the weight of foot traffic. Here in Central Texas, hail is a common cause for puncture tears on roofs with asphalt shingles. Vermin and pests are another reason we get called out to repair roof penetrations.
The experienced roofers at LOA have seen it all, and puncture tears can be hard to spot if you don’t know what to look for. An experienced Austin roofing company can help identify roof punctures and other hidden damage that may not be immediately visible. Working with an Austin roofing company can also help property owners determine the appropriate repairs before a small roof tear becomes a larger problem. Property owners need to be aware of the signs there’s a roof tear and what to do if you have one.

What to Do If There’s a Tear in the Existing Roofing System
It’s tempting to think roof sealant or some roof cement will solve the problem, but that temporary fix isn’t the best way to protect the structural integrity when the roofing material has been punctured. If you want to prevent further damage, then the roof is going to need to be properly repaired.
If you think there could be a roof tear you should:
Call a Professional Roofing Contractor
A roof tear is a problem that needs to be evaluated by a professional roofer. On a call the roofing contractor can narrow down the potential issues based on what you are seeing. They may even be able to give you a better idea of the extent of the roof repairs that will be needed, timeline to complete the work and the approximate cost.
Line Up a Roof Inspection to Find the Cause of the Problem
The only way for a roofer to know if you have a puncture for sure is by inspecting all parts of the roofing system. A roof puncture can affect different layers of the roof right down to the roof deck and existing flashing. If a puncture is found, the roofer will need to determine the cause and whether the surrounding shingles or panels are also affected.
Assess the Damage
The roof repair is going to depend on the extent of the damage. If there’s a single small tear without any water damage roofing cement can be used to patch the affected area in the short-term. However, if there are numerous punctures roof replacement may be necessary.
Schedule Roof Repairs
Once you know what you’re dealing with the roofer can make recommendations and you can schedule the roof repairs. If the punctures were created by falling debris in a storm or it’s the result of hail damage, your property insurance may cover the cost of the repairs. If that’s the case, an insurance claim will need to be filed prior to beginning the work.
