Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
With the variety of options that asphalt shingles roofing provides, homeowners are able to achieve a unique look on the home without breaking the bank. These are the asphalt shingle types Elo Roofing roof services provider can install in Jacksonville FL homes:
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
Three-tab shingles are the most common type of asphalt shingle roofing, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Laminated with an additional asphalt layer and bonded with asphalt sealant, architectural asphalt shingles have a more defined, structural look and are more durable and waterproof than three-tab asphalt shingles. They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and can easily mimic the look of more premium roofing alternatives like cedar and slate.
In addition to these types, there are also different materials that your shingles could be made of:
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are made with a combination of woven fiberglass as the base, asphalt coating, and ceramic granules on top, these materials create a waterproof and UV-protectant shingle while also being extremely lightweight and thin due to its lower amounts of asphalt.
Organic Mat-based Shingles
Organic mat-based shingles are a kind of asphalt shingle roofing has a recycled felt paper layer for its base. They’ll be heavier, thicker, and slightly more expensive than fiberglass shingles but they’re also more rugged and flexible.
Common Causes of Roof Leaks
While roof leaks in the home make themselves very apparent to everyone under the roof, what’s less apparent is their exact cause. It could be any number of things causing water to enter the home, that’s why it’s best to get professional roofing contractors in to assess the situation.
These are some of the potential causes of roof leaks:
Broken or missing shingles
Broken or missing shingles can be the result of storm damage or simply a consequence of an aging roof. It can cause exposure, making it easy for water to enter the roof. This is something that can be avoided with regular maintenance checks and repairs. We also do 24/7 emergency roof repair service in case your roof was damaged by a storm.
Compromised roof vents
In order for roof vents to function optimally, they need to be adequately sealed. Over time they can suffer cracks and gaps in the housing or along the pipes, which is bound to cause roof leaks.
Debris build-up
Excess debris on the roof and within gutters can cause easily-avoidable damage to the roof by way of moisture build-up. Regularly clearing the roof of debris will ensure that water runs off smoothly without the chance of accumulating on the roof’s surface and eventually penetrating the home.
Flashing
Flashing plays a vital role in sealing off moisture. They are specifically placed where roof transitions occur, and could otherwise be easy entry points for water. It is common for flashing to move out of place or suffer cracks over time, which can cause major roof leaks within the home.
Water: A Home’s Worst Enemy
- No homeowner wants water entering the home, especially via the roof. If water continues to enter your home, it may cause lasting damage that can result in significant expenses.
- Water causes mold issues and may result in a variety of different harmful growths.
- Water can warp and rot wood, which may cause significant structural problems that require extensive repair work.
Water damage may be destructive to the rest of your home in terms of damage to furniture, appliances and electronics.
