Common Roof Problems in Westmont

Westmont's climate and home styles create predictable failure patterns.

• Ice dams — Water backs up behind frozen gutters and seeps under shingles. Happens every winter on homes with poor ventilation or inadequate gutter slope.
• Hail damage — Spring and summer thunderstorms pound the area. Dents, bruised shingles, and granule loss compromise the membrane and accelerate end-of-life wear.
• Flashing failure — Joints around chimneys, skylights, and valleys corrode or pull free. Water wicks along the decking underneath, causing rot and decay.
• Sagging deck — Older ranch homes from the 1950s sometimes settle unevenly. A sagging roof deck can trap water and split shingles.
• Leak and water intrusion — Shingles curl or crack. Underlayment deteriorates. Water finds its way into the attic, walls, and insulation.
