Performing Roof Repairs when Necessary

The third and final step towards preventing costly roof repairs is by ensuring minor repairs take place long before larger problems have a chance to happen. Even when roof leaks aren’t evident, when you discover a few exposed nails in your shingles, you may think that since a problem like this has gone on for years, why fix it now? The old adage “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke” doesn’t apply here. All roofing problems should be treated like an emergency, especially when so much is on the line a minor repair costs are just a drop in the bucket compared to the average roof leak repair. But how do you know you need a roof repair and not a complete roof replacement to solve your roofing troubles?

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.

Never climb on your own roof and inspect the structure, as this can be a dangerous and even deadly task if you don’t have the proper training and safety equipment. Be sure your roofers perform a complete and thorough roof inspection before they provide you with a bid for any emergency roof repairs; otherwise you may get stuck with a high priced and unnecessary roof replacement.
