Keep Landscaping Maintained

One of the easiest things home and business owners can do to protect their roofing investment from unnecessary damages is by keeping an eye on landscaping materials around the structure. Trees that overhang the structure are often at risk for damaging shingle roofing materials. Once wind and strong storms blow through the your area, you can be sure that a tree branch or two are going to damage roofs that are in close proximity. But more often than not, it’s not the strong winds that do the most damages, it’s the weak winds that do.

After just 48 hours, wood rotting fungus, smelly mildew and dangerous black mold can all be thriving and spreading throughout your structure. Once black mold has reached the interior of your dwelling, any occupants who are exposed to the mold or the airborne spores are going to become stricken with respiratory ailments and will eventually become much sicker the longer they come into contact with it. That’s why when a roofing leak begins; it’s in your best interests to call us so we can take care of the problem immediately. Use the following tips for extending your shingles life and you’ll easily prevent costly shingle repairs or a total roof replacement from surprising you ever again.

Roof Repairs vs. Roof Replacement

Many unethical roofing contractors will tell you a roof replacement is necessary just because it’s easier than finding a roof leak and because they will get more money from the job. In fact, the majority of roofing troubles can easily be repaired without having to replace the entire asphalt shingle roof. The basic rule of thumb for knowing whether or not your roof needs to be replaced is thus: if the majority of your shingle roof exhibits widespread damages on shingles, flashings and sealants, and it’s over or close to 15 years old then you can bet a total replacement is in your best interests. When small areas of the roof are damaged, it’s easy and economical to make a minor repair first. This will allow your existing roof to enjoy many more years of life without the need for a total replacement.

Roof Leaks can be Hazardous to your Health

Rotting wood fungus, stinky mildew troubles and deadly black mold can all form inside of attic spaces, on drywall ceilings and behind walls. Within just 36 hours after water has infiltrated the structure, your indoor air quality can be ruined forever—or at least until the affected materials are removed and replaced with new ones. White wood fungus can destroy your structural components in just months. Mildew stains can bring smelly and musty odors into the home for good. If black mold is allowed to form, spores that are released into the air can cause serious respiratory problems and is a health hazard to those living or working within the structure. Black mold can grow on all wet surfaces, and can only be removed by replacing the affected materials.
