Roof Repair
One of the main reasons why a roof falls into disrepair is lack of preventative maintenance. Failing to find and correct minor problems can lead to major hassles later on. Some of the other main causes of roof problems are as follows:
- Weathering - A roof can be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions. Things like hail, air pollutants, and salt exposure can accelerate the deterioration of your roof.
- Wind Damage - Most roofs are not designed to withstand extremely strong winds, like ones caused by a hurricane or tornado. In addition to flying debris, your roof can also be damaged by the vacuum effect that some winds can cause to a roof, loosening the fasteners and adhesive materials.
- Flashing Failures - Flashing provide watertight junctions between roofing materials and roof projections or other parts of the house. They are the most vulnerable part of any roof. The bright side is that most roof problems can be fixed by simply repairing the flashing, thus saving a costly replacement of the entire roof.
Keeping an eye on your roof is the first and best way to spot potential problems and nip them in the bud.
