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!

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.

Absolutely Professional

We had our 32 year old cedar shake roof replaced with the GAF timeline architectural roof.  The guys were absolutely professional.  They arrived on time and completed the entire project in three days.  We had lots of dry rot damage as well as termite damage.  It was replaced perfectly.  Every day the work site was clean.  I was referred by a close friend and I have also referred my brother.  My neighbors were amazed how it looks and how quickly it was done.

I was challenged with a very complicated roofing problems as it was made of metal, tile and installed wrong which caused many leaks. The roof was only 10 years old!!  It took me 3-4 months of interviewing contractors as I needed to get the right one. Can you believe that the only one to come up with a water test on top of the roof was Gary the owner! Such a simple thing but everyone else was taking my word where the leaks were. Don't take my word! I'm not a roofer!! Gary and his team went above and beyond. His fabricator was brilliant in the redesign as it had ridges, crickets and slopes down instead of puddling. Luke Roofing knows what there doing!!

Really good crew.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality

Second job done by Luke Roofing for us...price was fine; timeline not important in our case, but they came when they said they would, and finished in two days. Really good crew, polite, considerate, and the work was quality. Cleanup was first class. One minor nick on our front gate on the way out, but easy agreement on how to handle it (accidents can happen to anybody). Really can't ask for more, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.

Good Honorable Company

In early 2019, when the severe rains came, I had two leaks in my upstairs master bathroom, about ten feet apart.  I was somewhat desperate, and tried several roofing companies.  The waiting list for everybody, including Luke, was lengthy, but i had no choice but to wait.  I picked Luke because of high ratings on Angie's List.  Glad I did.  

As it turned out, one flat area required a new roof.  I paid for that, approximately $3,000, and both leaks stopped.  A few months later, both leaks reappeared.  i couldn't believe it.  No problem, Luke's people came out and inspected everything.  A team of 3-4 men spent hours on the roof, going over everything.  They determined that neither leak was related to the roof or their work I had one drain completely stuffed with leaves, and another area where the stucco on the wall around the roof was severely deteriorated. They showed me several pictures. After fixing those problems with a plumber and a stucco company, those two leaks are gone.  No new leaks until last week.  

Last week, a new leak appeared, in a totally different location.  Erin Luke sent a man out to the house who fixed that leak immediately and I paid a small $200-$300 invoice.  

This is a good honorable, company, who will show up when they say they will, and charge a very fair price.  They are now my "go to" roofers.  I've referred them to others.

After spending 4 frustrating months dealing with insurance company and bank to settle a disaster claim for part of my roof, Luke was a breath of fresh air. My roof was partially damaged, but it was old so I decided to replace the whole thing. I took bids from several companies and, although Luke was not the absolute low bid, I have to say that I selected them because of the perceived "value" for me. I am a business owner and I place a high premium on companies who treat their customers right and with high integrity. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and there were no surprises. They also finished the job 1-2 days before they quoted, which I very much appreciated. They worked closely with my chosen Solar company (Sullivan Solar) to prep the roof for solar install, which is happening next month.

My neighbor even saw them working and hired them for his roof repair job.

I highly recommend Luke for any roofing project. Good, honest, fair and reliable. Nobody likes to spend money on these things, but if you have to, it sure feels a lot better when you can do it with a company that you can trust.
