Where is that Roof Leak Coming From?

So you’re noticing a drip from somewhere around your roof whenever it happens to rain? Luckily, many roofing leaks are easy to fix. Sometimes, it only takes a professional Orange County roofer a few minutes to a couple of hours to fix a leak. On the flip side, it can sometimes take hours to figure out exactly where that leak is coming from.

The first step to figuring out where the leak is coming from is to identify the leak in the first place. All too often, leaks can start out silent, and you won’t even know they’re there until they’ve caused lots of issues. For instance, your roof could be leaking into the attic, but it takes time for the leak to trickle down to the ceiling where you can actually see it.

The Mighty Hero of Roofing

Every Orange County roofer knows that roofing has a mighty hero. It’s not the crew members, although they certainly do their share of amazing things. And it’s not the people behind the scenes, fielding phone calls and questions . No, this hero is something that’s an important part of your rooftop; yet, it’s seldom noticed by anyone but the keenest observer. The hero in question goes by the name ‘flashing’. Sounds fast. But this hero’s powers have very little to do with speed. The significance of flashing is its protective powers. Without it, people could find themselves battling roof leaks by the dozen.

In a nutshell, flashing is a roll of thin, moisture-resistant metal. Often made of copper, aluminum, lead, or galvanized steel, it serves as a barrier against unwanted water and other elements. Typically, a commercial roofer will install flashing around roof valleys, skylights, and vents.  Bear in mind, installation is no casual affair. Flashing must be precisely placed in order to safeguard vulnerable areas. Once installed, flashing works by collecting pooled water and diverting it away from protected zones.

When protecting a roof valley, for instance, an Orange County roofer will install a strip of flashing beneath the edge of the roof shingles. Any water dripping into the valley will travel down the flashing and into the rain gutter.

Decking is another part of the home that benefits from flashing. For instance, if you owned a beach house in San Clemente, a San Clemente roofer most likely installed these metal strips against the side of the home. This precautionary measure will keep moisture from dripping behind the wooden piece the keeps your deck secured to the house.

If you have any questions about protecting your roof with flashing, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established Orange County roofer, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every need and situation. Whether you need roofing services in San Clemente, Westminister or anywhere else in OC, you definitely can count on Luke Roofing.

Maintaining a Tile Roof Tile in Orange County

orange-county-tile-roofOne of the benefits of installing a tile roof on your home is that they’re virtually maintenance-free. But “virtually” maintenance-free doesn’t mean the same thing as totally maintenance-free. You still need to do some maintenance with your clay tile roof - or hire OC roofing companies to do it.

Luckily, maintaining a clay tile roof is relatively simple. Here are the steps you should take to keep yours in excellent shape:

1. Inspect regularly

First, make sure that you regularly inspect the clay tiles on your roof. This is especially true after a storm or strong wind. While clay is very durable and not likely to break, it does happen sometimes. And you definitely want to replace a broken tile as soon as possible, before more damage occurs.

If you do notice broken, slipped, missing, or chipped tiles, be sure that you call a qualified Orange County roofing company, like Luke Roofing, Inc. to fix the problem. Clay isn’t as simple for DIYers to fix as asphalt shingles.

2. Power wash

Like all roofs, you definitely need to be sure that you keep your clay tile roof clean. Dirty roofs invite all sorts of problems - from nesting critters to mold growth. So make sure that you regularly clean your roof, especially if it gets debris on it from nearby trees.

One of the easiest ways to clean your clay tile roof yourself is with a power washer. Power washing can be done in an afternoon. If tiles are growing algae, rinse them in a special roof rinse that will break down the algae without harming the environment around your home. Talk to OC roofing companies about how best to wash your roof.

Recommended by Friend, Very Reasonable!

Luke Roofing was recommended to us by a friend. Came out to give us a quote on a leak and had it fixed the same day! Very reasonable, at less than half the price quoted to us by another company. One year warranty. We would use them again for sure!

Excellent roof and solar installation!

Luke's was fantastic before during and after my roof and solar was installed. I couldn't be happier since I love dealing with professionals.
Highly recommended!

I hired Luke Roofing to install a large solar system and a new roof for an addition to my home.  They were on time, clean, and quick.  I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Very Professional and Conscientious

During the week of rains here in So CA I had a leak in my roof. The leak was coming through a light fixture in the stairwell. I phoned Luke Roofing (as I had used them in the past) and within a day Jonathan stopped by to assess the damage. I was given an estimate within the given time period he said he would get back to me. I was told that they were 2 - 3 weeks out to do the job however I received a call within the week after the estimate indicating Lupe would be by the next day. Lupe is a polite man who spent about 2.5 hours working on the roof. When he was finished he informed me as to what caused the roof to leak and left for his next job. He was very professional and conscientious. I await the next rain storm to see if all was fixed - however there is a 2 year guarantee in the work done. The individuals employed by Luke Roofing are polite and professional. In the past Luke Roofing fixed my leaking roof in another part of the house and I did not have any leaks. I would do business with them anytime.

Highly Recommended
We had a tremendous experience with Luke Roofing. They came highly recommend by our neighbors. Luke’s price was lower than two other bids we received. They installed a new concrete tile roof and solar panel system. Everything went exactly as promised and as planned. There were no surprises and when unforeseen issues arose with our home, they willingly fixed it all without any additional cost. I would highly recommend Luke Roofing.

This company is professional, honest, and does things by the book. They did a fabulous job for us when we needed some old solar panels removed. They didn't try to sell us a new roof like every other company did. I would highly recommend them. My only complaint, which isn't really a complaint, is that I had to follow up often on getting a date for the work to be done. I can only suspect it was because our needs weren't as lucrative as doing a new roof even though for us it was a very expensive job. Overall, I'm very glad we chose them.

My experience with Luke Roofing Inc. goes back some twenty plus years when I replaced my shingle roof with a class A asphalt roof.  It was nice to know that he is still in business !  I was not surprised really when I thought about it,  because his price was competitive, they did exactly as the contract said with no surprises, they cleaned up at the end of each work day and if my memory serves me correctly they wrapped up the job a little earlier than expected.  I have since recommended them to many of my neighbors with no complaints that I am aware of...I think they must be a reputable company that does good work or they wouldn't still be in business !

The entire Luke Roofing Team is nothing short of amazing. Roofing done right with permits, inspections, quality guaranteed product, and certified master shinglers that are licensed, bonded and insured is not the least expensive price, however, had the previous owners of my home used Luke...instead of using a company who did everything wrong...used faulty products, never pulled permits and never had the stages of their work inspected, .I would have had a 50 year guarantee and a no worries roof when I purchased this home. You get what you pay for.

On top of all the above...their kindness, cleanliness, and professionalism was off the charts...Even my neighbors were blown away. They commented they had never seen such an organized, professional, hard working crew....and they did what they said in the time frame they quoted. Their clean up every day was outstanding. And, their final clean up was with this big magnet they took all over my property to suck up any hidden nails that their clean up may have missed.

Gary and Caleb are really good people and that seems to trickle down to all their employees. I found out that some have been with them for over 20 years.

I was pleased to find out they could also do my gutters and paint for the new eves and facia. Using them for that was also one less worry. They did an outstanding job.

I can't say enough about Luke Roofing. I highly recommend them....Great job guys and thank you for taking such good care of us and our home..... wish I could hire you and your team for all my future home improvements, too bad for me you only do roofs, solar, etc.
