Wayne is a Main Line community inside Radnor Township, Delaware County, with large older homes on wooded lots near the Wayne station. Larger older pitched roofs are the likely case, and permits come from Radnor Township. Call (833) 751-2102 for a leak, a torn shingle or storm damage.
Wayne is a Main Line community inside Radnor Township, and it has large older homes on wooded lots near the Wayne station. The houses are pitched, often with several roof sections, chimneys and dormers. The roofs are big, and the joints between their sections are where the trouble usually starts.
Permits for roof work come from Radnor Township rather than from Philadelphia, and the township process has to be worked into the schedule. Philadelphia Roofing sends a local roofer who walks each section of the roof and checks the township requirements before the crew is booked.
Wayne sits within a township that has its own rules, and its large lots mean the roof is often only one part of the work. Gutters, chimneys, dormers and the trees near the house come under the same visit, and a roofer records each one.
Heavy rain that ponds on flat rowhouse roofs, summer storm wind and winter freeze-ups at drains and scuppers decide which roof calls come in across Philadelphia from week to week.
A large older house can have several pitched sections, valleys between them, dormers and one or more chimneys. Each of those joints is a place for water to get in. A repair on one section is checked against the others, so the leak does not simply move.
The attic is the best place to see where the water has been going. A roofer checks the deck from the attic side and the flashing from the roof, and fixes the joint that is actually leaking.
Trees on wooded lots drop limbs and leaves onto the roof, and a branch in a storm can open shingles and bend flashing in one event. Photograph the damage before the cleanup, and keep any broken pieces, since the insurer will ask about the timing and the cause.
Clearing the valleys and gutters after a storm is part of the repair. Debris held against a roof holds moisture, and that is often the start of the next leak.
Roof permits in Wayne come from Radnor Township, which applies the local building code. The township's process, forms and fees are not set out on this page, so confirm what it requires for your scope before the work is booked.
Keep the township's answer in writing with the contract. A permit that was missed can cause trouble at a sale or refinancing.
Wooded lots keep the roofs shaded, and shade keeps the surface damp for longer after rain. Moss and algae can take hold on the north and east slopes, and a roofer checks for them during a repair. Clearing them and checking the shingles beneath is part of keeping the covering sound.
Trees also drop leaves, seeds and small branches into valleys and gutters. Those hold water against the roof and slow the flow to the outlets. Clearing them in the spring and autumn is the cheapest routine maintenance a large lot needs.
After a storm, look at the trees near the house as well as the roof. A branch that is cracked or leaning is likely to fall in the next storm, and a roofer can point out which limbs threaten the roof so that tree work can be scheduled.
Valleys, dormers and edges on the large pitched roofs are the most common repair.
Limbs and high wind on wooded lots open shingles and flashing in a single storm.
Chimneys on the older homes are a frequent source of leaks at the flashing.
Gutters under the trees need clearing after every leaf fall.
A walk of each roof section before storm season shows which joints need attention.

Keep people clear of the area and cover any opening if it is safe. Call (833) 751-2102 so a roofer can inspect the roof, photograph the damage first, and tell your insurer promptly.
Some small repairs do not, but replacements usually do. The township decides what applies to your roof, so ask its office before the job is booked and keep the answer in writing.
A stain near a chimney usually means water is getting in at the flashing around it. A technician checks the flashing from the roof and the stain from the attic, then repairs the joint that is letting the water through.
Clear the valleys and gutters after each leaf fall and after big storms. A roofer can check whether the valley metal is holding up, and can show you where the debris gathers so you can clear it on a regular schedule.
Not by itself. Moss and algae are common under trees and can often be cleaned and treated. A roofer checks whether the moss is hiding damage or lifted shingles before deciding whether a repair or a replacement is needed.
