BLOG 🌧️ Common Roofing Issues During Houston’s Rainy Season (And How to Fix Them) Jul 23, 2025

Rain, Leaks & Repairs—Is Your Roof Ready for Houston’s Wettest Months?

In Houston, the rainy season hits hard—from late spring through summer and even into early fall. Heavy downpours, high humidity, and sudden thunderstorms are common—and your roof is the first line of defense.

At E & E Roofing, we help homeowners across Houston, Baytown, Cypress, Pearland, and Katy stay ahead of storm damage with expert inspections and fast repairs. If your roof isn’t prepared, even a small problem can quickly turn into expensive interior damage.

Here are the top roofing issues we see during Houston’s rainy season—and how to fix them before they flood your home.

💧 1. Roof Leaks & Water Intrusion

Leaks are the #1 problem during Houston’s wet season. They often start small—maybe just a discolored ceiling or a drip during a heavy storm. But leaks can damage insulation, drywall, and even lead to mold growth if ignored.

Causes:

Fix: E & E Roofing offers free roof leak inspections and same-day emergency repairs in the Greater Houston area.

🌀 2. Loose or Missing Shingles

Heavy rain usually comes with gusty wind—and wind can lift or rip shingles right off your roof. Exposed underlayment or decking leads to fast water damage, especially if more rain is on the way.

Fix: We’ll replace missing shingles, secure lifted sections, and inspect the surrounding area to prevent future leaks.

🌿 3. Clogged Gutters & Roof Drainage Issues

Clogged gutters cause water to back up under shingles or overflow onto your siding and foundation. It’s one of the most overlooked causes of roof leaks during the rainy season.

Fix: Schedule seasonal gutter cleaning and ask about gutter guards to reduce debris buildup.

🌧️ 4. Ponding Water on Flat Roofs

For commercial roofs or homes with flat sections, poor drainage can lead to ponding water—which breaks down roofing membranes and leads to leaks or structural damage.

Fix: E & E Roofing specializes in TPO roofing and flat roof solutions, including slope correction and drainage system installation.

🏚️ 5. Roof Deck Rot or Sagging

Long-term water exposure weakens the wooden structure beneath your roof. If you notice any sagging areas or musty smells in your attic, you may have hidden water damage that needs urgent attention.

Fix: We provide full roof replacement, decking repair, and insurance claim assistance if storm damage is confirmed.
