When determining whether your roof needs minor repairs or a complete replacement, you will need to evaluate its condition. Here are a few common roof problems that require repairs. When it’s time to schedule residential roof repair in Elmwood Park, give the experts at Impressive Pro Construction a call.
Old, Worn-out Gutters
A gutter's main function is to safely transport rainwater from your roof to the ground. Ice dams in the winter and blockages at other times of the year can cause gutter damage. The gutter may be forced away from the fascia by the weight of the ice dam, producing a gaping hole where water will seep.
If there is sediment in gutters, water won't flow from them efficiently, and when enough debris accumulates, it forces water over the edges. Installing gutter guards or meshing is the ideal solution, but for maximum efficacy, make sure to routinely clean the guards.
Roof Gaps
A roof system with open holes, spaces between sections, or rips in the membrane will deteriorate quickly. Water is a roof's worst enemy since it can infiltrate a home and cause mold problems. If you haven't checked your roof recently, get a professional to look for any problems.
Poor Ventilation
For the attic to be cool and dry, airflow is necessary. You might end up with an icebox in the winter and a sauna in the summer if you don't have it. Your roof's trusses and decking will get spongy from the moist, damp air, which will eventually cause it to sag. Once wood rot has started, it cannot be stopped without fully removing the roof and trusses. To ensure your home has the best ventilation possible and to keep your attic cool and dry throughout the year, install vents at the gables, ridges, and roof edges.
