Roof leak repair in Towns County

Why roofs leak in Towns County

Towns County sits in the Blue Ridge foothills, which puts it in a different roofing climate from most of Georgia. The mountains get real freeze-thaw cycling: water works into a hairline gap in flashing during the day, freezes overnight, expands, and opens the gap a little wider. Repeat that through a Towns County winter and a joint that was watertight in October is leaking by March. Ice at the eaves is the other one — meltwater running down a warm roof refreezes over the cold overhang and backs up under the shingle course, which is how water ends up inside a roof with no visible damage at all. Steep pitches shed snow well but make access harder, and older stock here runs to standing-seam and pressed metal, which fails at the fastener rather than the panel.
