A Roof Leak Won’t Fix Itself — Act Fast
A leaking roof is never a minor inconvenience. Water that enters through even a small gap in your roofing system can travel in multiple directions before it shows up as a stain on your ceiling, making the source notoriously difficult to pinpoint without a professional eye. Left unaddressed, a roof leak can lead to mold growth, rotting structural wood, damaged insulation, and costly interior repairs that far exceed the original cost of fixing the roof. AM PM Roofing provides expert roof leak repair for homeowners throughout Cromwell and Middletown, CT, diagnosing the source of the problem quickly and correcting it the right way.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks in Connecticut
Understanding what causes roof leaks is the first step in preventing them. AM PM Roofing repairs leaks stemming from all of the following causes:
Age — Roofing materials break down over time. Temperature swings cause shingles to become brittle, crack, and lose granules, while heat and UV exposure can weaken the tar that bonds shingles together.
Flashing Failures — Metal flashing seals the transitions around chimneys, dormers, skylights, and roof edges. When flashing loosens, rusts, or its caulking dries and cracks, water finds its way in.
Missing or Damaged Shingles — High winds can tear shingles loose, leaving sections of the roof deck completely exposed to rain and moisture.
Gutter Clogs — Debris-filled gutters prevent proper drainage, causing water to back up under the roofline and seep into the structure.
Roof Vents and Penetrations — Any opening in the roof — vents, pipes, antennas — must be properly sealed. Cracked gaskets or missing nails around these penetrations are a frequent source of leaks.
Debris Buildup — Leaves, pine needles, and twigs trap moisture against the roof surface, accelerating deterioration and creating entry points for water.
