The most common source of metal roof leaks in Sunrise’s residential neighborhoods is failed fasteners on exposed fastener metal roofs. Many homes in communities like Sunrise Golf Village and the original Sunrise developments were built in the 1970s and 1980s with exposed fastener metal roofing. The rubber washers under the screw heads have been exposed to decades of Florida’s intense heat and UV radiation. They become brittle, crack, and fail. During a wind-driven rainstorm — and Sunrise gets some of Broward’s most intense thunderstorms — water follows the screw thread directly into your attic. The leak may appear directly under the screw, but often water travels along the underside of the metal panel before dripping somewhere else entirely, sometimes several feet away. This is why many homeowners have chased a leak for years without success, patching the same ceiling stain repeatedly. Our repair process includes a complete, panel-by-panel fastener inspection. We identify every deteriorated washer, remove the old screw, and replace it with a new, high-quality screw with a fresh EPDM rubber washer. We do not simply caulk over old screws — that is a temporary fix that will fail again within months. We replace, not patch.
Another frequent leak source in Sunrise is impact damage from falling tree limbs. Many neighborhoods have mature oak and palm trees. During thunderstorms or hurricanes, large branches snap and fall. Even a small limb can puncture a metal panel, leaving a hole invisible from the ground. During a heavy rain, that small hole allows gallons of water into your attic, damaging insulation and promoting mold growth. Our leak detection process includes moisture meters and systematic exterior inspection. We repair holes by patching with matching metal gauges and marine-grade sealants.
For commercial properties along Sawgrass Expressway, Flamingo Road, and University Drive, we fix leaks from failed seam sealants on standing seam roofs, failed flashing around HVAC units, and deteriorated rubber washers on exposed fastener systems.
