Factors That Can Wreak Havoc On Your Roof
- Sun
- Heat and ultraviolet rays cause roofing materials to deteriorate over time.
- Rain
- When underneath roofing, water can work its way to the deck and begin to cause rot.
- Winds
- High winds can lift the roof edges and force water underneath.
- Condensation
- The buildup of relatively warm, moisture-laden air in a poorly ventilated attic promotes decay of the wood sheathing and rafters.
- Moss & Algae
- Moss can grow on wood shingles and shakes if they are kept moist by poor sunlight conditions or bad drainage. Algae also grows in damp, shaded areas on wood.
- Trees & Branches
- Trees and branches should be trimmed away from the house to eliminate damp, shaded areas, and gutters should be kept clean to ensure good drainage.
- Missing or Torn Shingles
- No longer offer your roof complete protection; there are missing "links in the armor" that shields your home from the elements.
- Shingle Deterioration
- When shingles get old and worn out, they curl, split, and lose their waterproofing effectiveness and are more easily blown off, torn, or lifted by wind gusts.
- Flashing Deterioration
- Many apparent roof leaks really are flashing leaks around chimneys, vents, skylights and wall/roof junctions.
