Clay Tile Repairs Under a Carlsbad Home’s Solar System
Carlsbad is known for its beaches and sun. No better way for your home to take advantage of this than putting solar down to capture the energy from the sun. A roof that appears to be fine can have its age and flaws exposed once solar gets hammered into it. Years of broken tiles and worn out felt underlayment will come to light. It is surprisingly often that we get a call only months after the panels have been installed to come replace the entire or a section of a roof. This process can end up costing more than getting a new roof and solar around the same time.
It is highly recommended to get your roof assessed by an experienced roofer, not just a solar tech. You can prevent avoidable leaks and water damage after getting brand new solar by making sure the roof is sound and installation is done with waterproofing in mind. Leaving broken tiles and holes in the roofing underlayment is a recipe for disaster.
This Carlsbad, California house had solar installed fairly recently and during the last rains experienced a new leak right under the panels. Depending on your agreement with you solar company the repairs for this could come out of your own pocket.
Level 1 Roofing fixed the root cause of the leaks and the solar energy is now back to homeowners.

Low Slope Roof Restoration in Citrus Heights, CA
This homeowner on Saint Philomena Way in Citrus Heights recently had the roof replaced by a different roofer. Even still the roof was experiencing leaks. Trying to fix the problem, they called us, Level 1 Roofing to solve the issue with the leaks. In order to save the homeowner money and not have to remove and replace the flat roof, we proposed a roof restoration. Using a high solids silicone to completely seal and waterproof the roof for decades to come. Our crews started on the process by identifying laps, corners, and penetrations that have the largest chance of developing into leaks and applied seam sealant material to these areas to ensure water does not penetrate the seams. This material is reinforced with fibers to give these sections extra strength and protection. The silicone roof restoration service we provide allows you to take nearly any low or flat roof and make it perform as well if not better then when it was new. With a warranty of up to 25 years on material and labor, it is no wonder why for this Citrus Heights roof was restored instead of replaced.
Not only does the coating system reflect over 90 percent of the sunlight it also does not store the heat nearly as much as darker roof materials. This means big savings on cooling costs. Especially in a case like this where the HVAC unit is roof-mounted and is directly impacted by the roof temperature. This cool roof also stops much of the heat out of your attic and interior of your house. Making your cooling system work less is key in keeping your energy bill down.
