TUCSON, Ariz. — The severe storms we have seen in the past week have left behind a mess.
One of the common problems people see after storms are leaky roofs, and those can mean costly repairs.
KGUN9 spoke to the owner of A Plus Roof Coating Maintenance and Repair, he told us it's a good rule of thumb to get up on your roof every three months, do a general inspection, and clear off any debris.
Owner Phil Foster says "If you see any peeling, if you see any splitting, those are signs that maybe your roof is going to start leaking soon if it isn't already leaking. being ahead of the curve and catching problems before they create a leak is going to save you money, because leaks cause damage. not only on your roof but they cause damage inside your home that has to be repaired which can create mold and an array of other things."
Foster says roofs in Arizona are generally built pretty flat, and that can cause ponding issues.
He also says if you have ponding that lasts more than 48-hours after the rain has stopped that's when you need to address the problem, before permanent damage is done to your roof.
