Roof repair

There is no hard and fast time to replace your roof but there are certain signs which if appear, are an indication that it is now time to replace your roof.

Moldy Attic

You observe that mold has started to grow in attic. This is mostly because of a venting problem. When warm air rises and cannot find a proper escape route, it starts accumulating in the attic. This results in condensation on the inner side of the roof, causing rust in nails and growing mold.

Mold is a more serious issue if you have a plywood roof. If you don’t act fast, the plywood can rot and you will have to settle for a new roof.

Daylight Coming in Through Roof Boards

Open pathways in your roof are not blocking daylight. Soon the gaps will widen and it will turn to a bigger problem.

Usually daylight starts coming in through roof boards when nails have fallen off. The issue can also arise because of corrosive materials, which have lost their waterproofing properties.

Damaged Flashing

Flashing is known to keep moisture out of the joints of your roof. When damaged flashing is observable by eyes, it is time to give a call to roof repair services. Depending upon the material used for the construction of flashing (cement or tar) if you don’t repair it quickly, your roof may start dripping water.

Wall and Ceiling Seam

Seam starts appearing on walls and ceilings if water gets trapped. It looks ugly, tarnishes the inner beauty of your home and your friends and families pass comments. If left unattended, fungi can make it a reproduction source and a small child carelessly putting his hand on the wall may get infected.

Usually it is due to moisture trapped between services. Get on line with roof repair services and ceiling seam won’t be a problem.

Ice Dam Formation

Ice dams can be formed at your roof’s edge because of ventilation issues. This does not happen in a day. It starts with non-constant temperature inside the attic and rest of the house. With poor ventilation, the heat from the attic melts the snow on top of the roof. The melted snow travels due to gradient concentration towards the edge of the roof, where the cold air freezes the melted snow, resulting in dangerous ice dams.

With added pressure, these ice dams can pull apart your roofing materials.

Unwanted Animals Living in Your Home

You keep your front doors and windows locked most of the time but then how did a family of squirrels start living in your home?

It is very likely that the animal came in through a rotten/broken section of the roof. Animals like raccoons, bats and birds will take the opportunity to save themselves from cold.
