common reasons for flat roof leaks
Roof Repair, Roof Leaks

Even small roof leaks are a threat. It compromises your home’s protection against the elements and can silently wreak havoc over time. If you suspect your roof is leaking—or just want peace of mind—you’re in the right place.

Why a Minor Leak Is Still a Big Problem

A tiny drip doesn’t stay small for long. Over time, moisture seeps into decking, insulation, ceilings, and structural elements. That can mean mold, rot, stains, or even serious structural damage. It’s far better (and far cheaper) to catch leaks early than let them escalate.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks

Here are the top reasons leaks happen in Arizona’s climate:

  • Age of Roof: Materials degrade over time—coatings dry, shingle granules wear off, membranes crack.
  • Cracked or Faulty Flashing: Flashing seals vulnerable intersections (chimneys, vents, dormers). When it fails, leaks follow.
  • Improperly Sealed Roof Valleys: These “junctions” where roofs meet channel runoff; poor sealing here often leads to leaks.
  • Holes & Damage from Weather: Hail, wind, or debris can cause punctures or loosen roofing materials.
  • Attic Condensation: Especially in cooler seasons, warm indoor air rising into a cool attic can condense and mimic or exacerbate leak symptoms.
  • Skylights & Penetrations: The seams around skylights, vents, plumbing stacks, etc. are common weak points when installed or sealed improperly.

Signs Your Roof May Be Leaking

Look out for these tell‑tale indicators:

  • Brown or yellow water stains on ceilings or walls
  • Mold or mildew growth
  • Damage or sagging in ceilings
  • Curling, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Flashing that appears loose, cracked, or missing
  • Light shining through your roof (aka “shiners”)
  • A damp smell or musty air, especially in the attic
  • Rot or discoloration in eaves or soffits

If you notice any of these, call for an inspection sooner rather than later.
