ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED PARTS OF ROOFING MAINTENANCE ... is the roofing screws. Over time, roofing screws become loose, rusted & corroded, which reduces their ability to securely hold your roof sheets in place and maintain a watertight seal.
This can lead to:
1. Leaks & water damage – deteriorated screws can allow water into your roof and home.
2. Increased storm/cyclone risk – loose screws can allow sheets to lift during strong winds.
3. Corroded & weakened screws – rust can compromise the connection between your roof sheets and the structure underneath.
4. More expensive repairs – catching deteriorated screws early can help prevent minor maintenance issues from becoming major problems.
Roof re-screwing is considered preventative maintenance and is a worthwhile repair that can help protect your home and extend the life of your metal roof, which is especially important in coastal areas where humidity and salt air can accelerate corrosion.
