Common Roof Problems We Fix
- Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles, Chinook winds reaching 120 km/h, and summer hailstorms create specific roofing challenges. Vertex repairs these common issues daily:
- Wind damage accounts for 40% of our Calgary repairs. Chinook winds lift shingle edges, allowing water underneath. We secure loose shingles with 6-nail installation (exceeding Alberta’s 4-nail code requirement).
- Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow, which refreezes at eaves. The resulting ice backup forces water under shingles. We improve attic insulation (R-50 minimum) and add proper ventilation to prevent recurring dams.
- Hail damage from Calgary’s severe summer storms cracks shingles and dents metal components. We document all impact points for insurance claims and replace damaged sections with impact-resistant materials.
- Valley leaks develop where two roof sections meet. Calgary’s heavy spring runoff overwhelms improperly sealed valleys. We install ice-and-water shield 36 inches up each valley side for permanent protection.
