Whitehorse roofing contractors in Yukon

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 Whitehorse 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.

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. Call us right away or fill out the box in the upper right hand corner of your screen for a free roof inspection and no obligation estimate today and you can be sure we’ll help you keep your next shingle repair as cheap as possible.

Roof Leak Symptoms

Check your roof regularly for any of these roofing troubles; especially after strong rain, wind or snow storms. Be sure a licensed, insured and experienced roof leak trouble shooter takes care of any problems before they get too difficult to manage.

Prevent Emergency Roof Repairs Before they Start

That’s why it’s so important to find the right roofing contractor for the job. When you ensure that your roof system is in tip top shape through roofing inspections, with a yearly maintenance plan and the occasional roof repair, you can prevent costly roofing problems and even a complete roof replacement. While an asphalt shingle roof replacement is recommended about every 15 years, with the right roofers to help you keep your existing roof in the best shape possible, you can extend that life up to 25 years or more.
