It is important that anytime there is an issue with your roof, you work quickly to get it fixed as roofing problems can spread to other damage to your home. Xpert Xterior is here to talk about some of the most common roof repairs that are prevalent in the spring.
Most Common Roof Issues We See in the Spring
There are several roofing problems that people experience in the springtime. Here are some of the most common issues that you should be looking for this spring:
– Roof Leaks: The last thing that any homeowner wants to deal with is a leaky roof. Unfortunately, the spring is filled with plenty of moisture so that when there is a roof, it won’t be long before you realize it. It might seem simple to fix a leak in your roof, but located a leak in a roof is much more difficult that most people think. This is going to be something that professional roofers need to come take a look at and fix.
– Clogged Gutters: When you think about your gutters, you probably don’t think about roof damage. However, the gutters on your home can play a key role in roof damage. If there are clogs in your gutters, it keeps water from flowing off your roof and away from your home. The water pools up instead. This can lead to rot and cause water damage in your home. Your gutters should be cleaned out often to avoid this problem. The spring is a great time to make sure there aren’t any problematic clogs that need to be dealt with.
– Damaged Shingles: The winter can be harsh on your shingles. They will expand and contract over and over again as the weather causes them to freeze and thaw. If you have older shingles, this can be problematic. It can cause shingles to curls, loosen and even crack. When you have damaged shingles, your home is susceptible to water damage. If you notice that there are any damaged shingles, it is important that they get replaced as soon as possible. Sometimes, if you have a roof that is especially old, it is better for you to simply replace the roof rather than attempt to replace shingles constantly.
