The Importance of Addressing Roof Leaks
Your roof is designed to shield your family and property from Florida’s harsh elements, including heavy rains and hurricanes. A leak compromises this protection, leading to stress and potential damage. Water dripping into your home can require buckets to catch, but if left unrepaired, it fosters mold growth, which poses health risks and damages your home’s structure.

Being informed about the causes and signs of roof leaks empowers you to act quickly. Dream Team Roofing’s leak detection techniques are designed to identify any roof defect, from minor flaws to major breaches. With extensive experience and cutting-edge skills, we provide expert advice on the most effective repair solutions for your roof.

Common House Roof Leak Issues
At Dream Team Roofing, we treat leak detection with the utmost seriousness. Our contractors thoroughly assess your roof to identify the source of leaks, educating you on common issues we encounter in Florida homes:

1. Pipe Boot Failure
   Pipe boots, a type of flashing around plumbing vents, waterproof the pipe’s base. UV exposure and Florida’s intense sun can crack these boots, allowing water to seep through the roof into your home. We address this by installing a durable rubber collar over the cracked boot, encasing the flange for 10-15 years of reliable protection.
2. Improperly Driven Nails
   Nails that are not driven deep enough or are angled incorrectly can create entry points for water. Our team carefully removes these nails, drives them correctly, and seals the area with a high-quality ice and water shield to prevent future leaks.
3. Debris in Gutters
   Roof valleys, where two slopes meet in a V-shape, often have gutters to channel water. When leaves and debris clog these valleys, water overflows into the fascia board, causing leaks. We resolve this by loosening the gutter, installing flashing, and tucking it under the valley for proper drainage.
4. Chimney Wear and Tear
   Chimney leaks stem from various issues, including:
   • Worn metal flashing under shingles around the chimney.
   • Saturated mortar joints in brick chimneys.
   • Cracked masonry allowing water through the chimney top.
   • Rotting chimney siding.
     Our experts conduct detailed inspections to assess chimney damage and recommend targeted repairs.
5. Improperly Installed Skylights
   Skylights, despite warranties of up to 30 years, can leak if not sealed watertight during installation. We ensure proper sealing to eliminate leaks and maintain your skylight’s functionality.
6. Collar Failure Around a Gas Vent
   Heavy rain can splash water under the collar of a gas vent, especially if HVAC installers neglect roofing best practices. Our team detects these leaks, often near gas appliances, and installs robust seals to prevent water intrusion.
