Finding the causes of leaks and repairing damaged roof areas, including flashing, penetrations and roofing damage.

Flat-roof repairs

Assessment and repair of damaged flat-roof waterproofing, seams and flashing, and drainage problems.

How are roof repairs carried out?

• We get in touch and establish the signs of the problem;
• Where necessary, we inspect the roof and assess the cause of the damage;
• We suggest the most suitable repair solution and agree on the scope of work;
• We carry out the repairs and report any additional observations.

If your roof is leaking

The place where a leak appears indoors does not always correspond to the damaged area on the roof. Moisture can travel along structural elements, so it is important to check the roofing, flashing and drainage points. If the leak is active, contact a specialist as soon as possible and safely protect your rooms from further water damage.

Common causes of roof leaks

A leaking roof rarely points to just one defect or hole in the roof. Experience shows that most leaks result from recurring, well-known technical defects. Below is a list of the main causes we diagnose most frequently in our day-to-day work.

1. Damaged seams and joints

Leaks often start around:

• chimneys;
• ventilation pipes;
• roof windows;
• aerials and fixings;
• roofing joints.

These areas lose their resistance most quickly, and over time the sealant cracks, comes unstuck or degrades in the sun.

2. Damaged, lifted or cracked roofing elements

Very often, this problem is caused by:

• shingles lifted after a storm;
• poor installation of the roof structure and covering;
• the installation of low-quality roofing;
• loose, cracked or broken roof tiles;
• loose metal sheets;
• UV-damaged pieces of bitumen roofing;
• incorrect roof-window flashing.

Even one very small damaged element can cause a major leak.

3. Poor or damaged waterproofing

This is particularly relevant to flat roofs, where problems are caused by:

• cracked membranes;
• incorrect coverings and overlaps;
• aged bitumen layers;
• damage around parapets or protective perimeter barriers and service details.

Waterproofing is the roof’s main protection — if it fails, a leaking roof is only a matter of time.

4. Condensation and ventilation problems

Very often, indoor damp is caused not by rain, but by:

• insufficient ventilation;
• temperature fluctuations;
• incorrect vapour barrier installation;
• cold spots in the structure;
• insufficiently insulated ventilation ducts in the attic;
• roofing installed contrary to technical requirements.

The result is dripping water, damp or blistering that looks like a roof leak.

5. Ponding water and vapour

On flat roofs:

• pockets of standing water form;
• water damages the membrane;
• cracks and small tears develop;
• water infiltrates without visible signs;
• condensation forms and causes blisters when heated.

Ponding water is one of the most difficult problems to diagnose.

6. Loose screws and fixings, incorrectly used nails

The most common problems:

• screw seals dry out and crack;
• metal begins to move due to wind and temperature changes;
• screws become loose;
• seams are no longer watertight.

In these cases, leaks usually appear only during heavy rain.

7. Blocked gutters and incorrect drainage

Problems arise when:

• gutters are full of leaves;
• downpipes are damaged;
• water does not drain off the roof;
• water flows beneath the roofing and damages walls and insulation;
• drip edges are installed incorrectly.

A very common but mostly overlooked cause.

8. Weather damage

Storms, hail, snow and sudden temperature changes cause:

• cracks;
• lifting of the material;
• broken roof tiles;
• deformation of metal sheets.

Most leaks in buildings occur after storms and periods of heavy rain.

Emergency roof repairs

If a storm, strong wind or hail damages your roof, or it suddenly starts leaking, immediate action is needed. Urgent roof repairs are considered a critical service because they prevent further damage to the building and financial losses.

When urgent intervention is needed:

• after a storm, strong wind, heavy snowfall or falling branches;
• when an active leak is visible and water is entering the building;
• when there is visible damage to the roof structure or covering.

We offer urgent roof repairs! The service includes:

• a response as quickly as possible;
• a prompt inspection and assessment of the situation;
• a temporary solution — tarpaulins, covering the roofing, sealing;
• recommendations for preparing a full repair or roof replacement plan.

Why urgent repairs matter: timely intervention protects the building from damp, mould, structural deformation, damage to interior finishes and household belongings, and higher costs in the future.

Leaking roof repairs and roof leak elimination

A leaking roof is one of the most common building-maintenance problems in Latvia. Water damage may go unnoticed at first, but can quickly become a major risk to the building’s structure.

Signs of a roof leak may include:

• water dripping or flowing from ceilings and service shafts;
• water stains on ceilings or walls;
• a mouldy smell;
• damp patches;
• visible cracks or lifted roofing elements.

We offer professional leaking roof repairs:

• complete diagnostics and damage location — seams, joints, ventilation details and roofing areas;
• partial replacement of shingles / roofing, sealing and insulation;
• checks of waterproofing and ventilation;
• additional solutions to prevent recurring leaks.

As a result, the roof will once again perform its full function, protecting the building from mould and structural damage.

Bitumen shingle roof repairs and regular maintenance

Shingle (bitumen) roofs are popular in Latvia. They are attractive, durable and relatively economical, but more exposed to weather effects than roofs with other coverings. Shingle roofs last a very long time when high-quality roofing is chosen and regular maintenance is carried out.

We offer:

• identification of shingle roofing damage — diagnosis of wear, cracks and lifted elements, and shingle roof repairs;
• replacement of cracked or worn shingles;
• complete renewal of shingle roofing;
• application of a protective shingle-rejuvenating coating (shingle rejuvenator) that protects against UV rays, moisture and temperature fluctuations and helps preserve the condition of the roofing for longer;
• reinforcement and renewal of waterproofing;
• moss removal from roof shingles;
• roof treatment with an anti-moss product.

Why choose a shingle roof and maintain it regularly:

• quieter than a metal roof;
• attractive and available in many colours;

with regular, high-quality maintenance, this roofing lasts a very long time.

Metal roof repairs

Metal roofs are widely used on industrial buildings and modern private homes. They are durable, but problems can occur around screws, seams and joints.

We carry out:

• coating of sheets damaged by rust and corrosion;
• tightening and securing of joints, screws and fixings;
• seam sealing;
• checks of ventilation and drainage details.

If the damage is serious, we provide recommendations for complete renewal of the roofing.

When a metal roof needs professional repairs:

• there is visible corrosion;
• leaks appear at seams;
• screws have become loose;
• sheets are deformed;
• condensation and moisture are affecting the roof structure.

Tile roof repairs

Tile roofs are durable, but tiles can crack, move or break — especially due to temperature fluctuations and frost.

We take care of:

• diagnosis of damaged roof tiles — assessing cracks, breakages and wear;
• replacement of damaged roof tiles;
• coating clay roof tiles with a restorative membrane;
• checking joints and fixings;
• renewal of the waterproofing layer;
• adjustment of drainage details and ventilation;
• gentle moss removal from roof tiles.

Advantages of this roofing:

• a classic, visually appealing covering;
• excellent durability;
• a very long service life with correct maintenance.

Flat-roof repairs

A flat roof is practical, but has specific problems: membrane cracks, ponding water, leaks at joints and UV damage. Repairs to this type of roof are particularly in demand for commercial premises.

Our services include:

• complete membrane diagnostics and flat-roof repairs;
• repair of cracks, small tears and seams;
• analysis of areas of standing water and prevention of ponding;
• renewal of the membrane or roofing;
• adjustment of drainage systems, ventilation and service details.

High-quality flat-roof repairs provide:

• long-term watertightness;
• a safe roof structure;
• lower maintenance costs in the future.

Roof maintenance and moss removal

Regular inspections, gutter cleaning and timely removal of growth can help identify damage before it becomes more serious. For bitumen shingle roofs, a gentle cleaning method must be chosen to avoid damaging the protective granules.

Regular roof maintenance extends the roof’s service life and helps detect small defects before they turn into costly repairs — a fundamental principle stressed by roofing specialists worldwide.

Roof maintenance may also affect insurance terms — it is worth checking your insurance policy to establish the applicable inspection and maintenance requirements.

Regular inspections reduce the number of major emergencies: preventive maintenance allows problems to be spotted while they can still be resolved with minor work.

Practical advice from manufacturers and experts: clean gutters regularly, check seams and fixings, look for deposits or stains, and take temperature and moisture measurements — together, these activities make an excellent maintenance plan.

Regular maintenance helps extend the roof’s service life and preserve property value.
