Homeowners usually neglect the condition of their roof which is the largest part of their home. It is also a part of the home that can cause damage which the homeowner would not notce without an inspection by a trained roofing expert. Damage can be done to the home’s interiors when the roof allows water to leak into the attic which then flows into the living area resulting in the destruction of walls and the ceiling. This condition promotes the growth of black mold which is a serious health hazard for the family.
Every home should have a roof inspection annually which begins with a look in the attic for discoloration of the roof supports which would indicate the roof is leaking and water is traveling into the home. When water gets behind the walls or on the ceiling, black mold will grow.
A qualified roof inspector from Roof Repair in Annapolis can find every area of the roof that is a problem or a potential problem. Shingles blown out of place will be the biggest problem. This condition will allow water to get on the decking and cause it to rot resulting in leaks into the interior walls. Another part of the roof which can be troublesome is the Ridge Cap shingles which provide protection from water entering the attic. These shingles can be blown out of place allowing significant amounts of water to enter the attic, and the water will flow from the attic into the home.
Nail pops are a common problem, and they will result in damage to the decking. They can be secured to prevent more serious problems. Shingles that are improperly installed will create a problem for the decking, because shingles twisting out of position or being lifted up on the ends will let water get on the decking. Roof Repair in Annapolis will repair these areas.
Another problem occurs when the drip edge is blown out of position by the wind or it is missing. Water will be blown underneath the drip edge shingles causing major problems including ice dams in the winter. Water can run down the side of the house when the drip edge is missing or is out of place causing foundation problems because the water will not be channeled into the Eves. Caulking will deteriorate over time as will flashing. Reliable Roofers Inc will also repair the flashing.
