Is Your Roof Trying To Get Your Attention?
Is your roof trying to get your attention? Let’s face it – most of us never think about our roof until it fails! By that point, we often find ourselves in an emergency situation with thousands of dollars of interior damage. Today’s roofing materials can last for generations with very low maintenance. However, many homeowners fail to do any roof maintenance or routinely check for any problems. Gutters, plumbing vents, storm damage, and even animals can cause roofing problems! And, if your roof is more than 20 years old you really need to have a professional roof inspection to determine life expectancy and pinpoint any potential issues.
Your roof will try to get your attention by showing subtle signs that there is a problem. Sometimes these signs are hard to spot and it is best to have a reputable roofing company perform a roof inspection for you.If your roof is more htan 10 years old, or has been in the path of severe weather – it is always wise to get your roof checked!
- Leaks & Water Stains – If you get water stains on your ceiling or walls, your roof is crying out for help.
- Missing or Curling Shingles Are your shingles waving at you, or perhaps just falling off? Either way if this is your issue your roof definiatey needs your ttention!
- Sagging Areas – If your roof looks like it has bad posture and is slouching, it could be a sign of structural damage.
- Granules in Gutters – If you see a lot of shingle granules in your gutters, your roof is shedding.
- Energy Bills Increased – A damaged roof can affect your insulation and therefore force your AC or heating to work more than necessary.
How Long Does a Pipe Jack Last?
An average neoprene pipe jack only carries a life expectancy of 5-15 years with ten being the average. Most homeowners think their roof should last 25 or 
more years but fail to realize that the plumbing jacks must be replaced much earlier! One of the most common roof leaks occurs because of a failed pipe jack or plumbing vent. We can also offer lifetime pipe jacks so you will never need to worry about a failing pipe jack again!
Clogged Gutters Can Cause Roof Leaks
Regularly cleaning your gutters and allowing proper water flow away from the roof is also critical! Clogged gutters or even gutter screens with layers of built-up leaves can prevent water from flowing into the gutters and away from your roof. If allowed to remain this water will be pushed underneath the shingles. What appears to be a roof leak was actually caused by gutters!
