Preventing Roof Leaks with a Roof Inspection

The best way to prevent roofing problems is by hiring professional roofers to inspect your roof. While many roofing companies charge homeowners for an inspection, Roofrepair.link knows that your time is money too. That’s why we offer all our customers a free no obligation roofing inspection. Once our thorough inspection is complete, we immediately send you an email directly from our work vehicle. Our roof leak trouble shooters will send you digital photos of any roofing troubles we find and a detailed report of the suggested repairs to prevent bigger roofing problems before they have a chance to start. Give us a call today or fill out the form in the upper right hand corner of your computer screen and we’ll send our team of highly trained roofing repair experts to pinpoint and repair any troubles we find—the same day we find them.

Roof Leaks can Be Deadly

Once these toxic byproducts of a roof leak are allowed to continue unabated, the entire roofing structure, attic insulation, air conditioning/heating ducts and ceiling/wall/floor materials may need to be replaced to prevent serious health problems that can occur when the toxic fungi and mold spores are released into the indoor air system of your Port Lincoln home or business. Black mold has been well documented to cause many serious respiratory problems in both asthmatic and healthy people’s lungs. If you notice black mold in your attic, ceiling or walls after a roof leak, vacate the structure and have repairs made right away.

Preventing Roof Leaks before They Start

Once you’ve stopped the roof leak, it’s important that you keep more roof leaks from taking place. Keep an eye out for potential problems like the ones listed above and be sure to keep leaf debris and branches off of your asphalt shingle roof and out of gutters. Never use harsh abrasives, snow shovels or pressure washing on your shingles as this can easily cause more roof leaks than it prevents. It’s also a good idea to keep trees trimmed back from the structure at least six feet. When swaying branches blown by the wind rub against shingles; it’s a roof leak waiting to take place.

A roof leak can be a horrible thing to come home to. Puddled water, stained ceilings and ruined furniture are sure to be discovered. But puddles of water on your floor are just the beginning of problems. Once water has been allowed to sit in insulation, on wood and other roofing materials, dangerous mold, mildew and fungus can begin to grow. Mildew can damage paper products and insulative materials in attic spaces. Wood fungus can grow in warm and wet places within days that can rot structural components, turning them into crumbling woodchips in no time fast.
