The water could reach the basement, kitchen, and attic.
What’s Involved In A Roof Replacement
Your roofer will remove the old shingles from your roof and expose the deck underneath. They will first check to see if the deck is in good condition before they proceed. They will need to repair the deck if it is damaged and then to protect the deck against water and other elements, an underlayment or felt paper will be applied to it. The new shingles will be installed on top of the felt paper or underlayment to give you a roof that will last 20 years or longer.

Roof Inspection Services
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against extreme weather and storms. If you wait until you see your roof leaking, then you may have bigger problems. These problems could include structural issues mold growth and damaged insulation. You can avoid a huge headache later by regularly having a roof inspector look at your roof to identify any damage or wear and tear.
You will probably be able to spot the most obvious roof problems, missing or flapping shingles without even going on the roof. But other types of roof damage may not be so obvious. Which is why it’s important to seek professional advice from an experienced and qualified roof inspector. If your roof has been in good condition for less than five years and has not been subject to major weather events since its last inspection, you should be fine with a simple visual inspection and an attic check. If your roof is older or has been subject to bad storms then a certified roofing inspector should complete a comprehensive roof inspection report.
The roof inspector will inspect your roof for signs of damage, unusual wear and tear, windblown debris, moss or grass or lichen growth issues and any other problems that may have occurred during the original shingle installation.
After inspecting your roof, he will provide a detailed report detailing the condition and any repairs required to ensure that your roof protects your house and property.

The next reason is experience. An experienced roofer can not only spot problems in your roof, such as leaks, missing shingles, moss or mold growth, which could potentially save you from needing costly repairs in the future, but they also have a thorough understanding of all the building codes and requirements ensuring that your new roof installation or repair is completed to the highest standards.

How long does it take to reroof a house?
On average a team of roofing contractors can reroof a house in 3 to 4 days. But there are a number of factors that can cause this timeframe to change. The number of days it takes to completely reroof a property depends on: * The pitch of your roof * The size of your roof * The weather * The type of roofing material used You will be given an expected completion date by your roofing contractor when you book your reroof. They will then review your reroofing timeline with you before they start the job.
How does weather affect the roofing process?
The weather can have an effect on the prices for roofing jobs and it can increase the time it will take if any inclement weather occurs. Some roofing materials should only be installed in certain temperatures. Due to adhesion issues shingles should not be installed when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Shingles can also soften during the heat of the summer.
What type of roof will last the longest?
Concrete, clay or slate tiles will last the longest. They outperform wood shakes or any of the manufactured roofing materials such as metal roofing and asphalt shingles. Although wood shakes, metal roofing and asphalt shingles do have a good lifespan, they are not as durable as the concrete, clay or slate tiles. When you invest in re-roofing your property your choice of roofing materials will have a direct correlation when it comes to how long your new roof will last.
