The roof of your home is the largest part of the home and the most vulnerable to the elements if the roof is not a quality roof, or if the elements have been hard on a roof because of its age. Roofs can cause trouble and you might never know it until it is too late. You will recognize a problem exists when you see shingles flying off the roof. This problem likely began a few years ago, when roofing nails became lose or the shingles began to tear. Over time, this condition can happen to many roofs.
It is wise to have a roofing expert from a Local roofer Burnsville to inspect your roof for damage you could never see from the ground. The roofing expert can spot any problems, including those which cause water to leak into the attic. A water leak of this nature can travel down between the walls and cause serious black mold. Water can destroy drywall from the back side, and you would not know it unless you happen to feel a bit of soft drywall. Water can also run down to the basement and cause black mold there, as well. If the basement is finished, you can expect all kinds of problems, if the water reaches this area of the house.
A roofing inspector from Twin City Roofing Construction Specialists Inc. will be able to inspect the underlayment and decking for rotted wood or worn water barrier material. They will look at the flashing and make sure that it is secured to the roof and not allowing any leaks. Any opening, like the vent pipes, will need to have a sealer around the area where it enters the roof. The inspector will go up into the attic and look for signs of water damage, which would be a positive sign that the roof is leaking. Looking at the area around the vents and the roof valleys will be revealing.
Checking the roof close to the gutter will reveal any loose shingles that will allow wind to blow rain under the shingles where the rain will freeze causing an ice dam. This is a problem that will need to be addressed quickly. The gutters should be free of debris.
Overall, the Local roofer Burnsville will have the knowledge and skill to spot problems you need to have fixed.
