Are Roofers Responsible For Leaks?

You may have a leaky roof and are wondering if you can hold the roofers responsible for this. Like in other similar cases, the answer to this question may vary, based on several different factors. A poorly made roofing job can certainly lead to a lot of unpleasant situations. When a roof leak appears on your home, it can cause even more severe damages. Thus, the situation should be treated seriously and with great precautions.

Of course, when you spend a large amount of money on a roof installation or repair job, you would expect it to be done properly. Although you cannot always tell if it is the roofer who is responsible for leaks, there are certain clear indicators of a poor roofing job.

These signs may include a large hump in the roof’s middle, missing shingles and overall bad quality workmanship. Sometimes, the roofing is not even finished, which may come as a huge surprise for the beneficiaries of the project. A cracked flashing can be another sign of a roof leak. Moreover, sometimes your roof’s valleys are not properly sealed, which can also lead to the formation of leaks. Improperly installed skylights may also be the cause of roof leaks. This, again, can be the roofer’s fault.
