Water leakage can cause severe damage to roofs. Roof damage affects both the exteriors and interiors of buildings.Leaking water from roof can affect expensive carpets, rugs,and upholstery.  Water-damage treatment for the interiors can be expensive and so, it is essential to arrest roof leakage right at the beginning.

 

If your roof damage is of minor category, you may get the roof repaired by a professional roof contractor.  However if the damage is extensive with rotten wooden parts and worn out shingles, it may be necessary to go for replacement of roof. There are several factors that can cause roof damage and leak. They include extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy wind, snow, hail storm, wind, and heavy rainfall. Whatever be the cause of roof leak, the principles of combating the problem are common. You can rectify leaky roofs by taking timely inspection and maintenance.

 

*Winter inspection: The best time for inspection of roof is before and after winter. In winter the effect of hail storm, snow fall, cold wind, low temperature, and heavy rain fall  can cause roof leak. You may notice missing shingles that need urgent replacement.

 

*Summer inspection: The soaring temperature during summer also can have a damaging effect on roof. The UV rays from sun can cause high heat impact on roofing material and affect the heat efficiency of the interior. So, go for an exterior inspection before the on set of summer.

 

*Inspection during snow fall:  If you live in an area where there is heavy snow fall during winter, ensure that you clean the snow from roof frequently. Ice buildup can increase the load on roof and cause excessive leakage. Seek professional help.

 

*Inspection after storm: Unexpected heavy wind or storm can cause extensive damage to roof.  After a storm replace the missing shingles and rectify any structural damage that might have happened during storm.
