When roof leaks take place, it can be a never ending nightmare if they are left to continue unabated. When roof leaks strike, it can take you by surprise. In some cases, roof leaks can go unnoticed for years causing structural damages and black mold growth in your attic space. If black mold continues to grow, it can quickly cause irreversible damages and health problems.

One of the most important things you can do to help prolong the lifespan of your roof is to perform a biannual inspection. Each spring and fall before the wet weather seasons of winter and summer befall Nokesville, VA., inspect your roof for signs of damages or disrepairs. When inspecting your roof for potential problems, look for any signs of:
• Tree Litter - Leaf debris and branches are just waiting to cause a roof leak on your home. Tree litter that is left to decay and build up on roof decks can easily cause asphalt shingles to prematurely rot and decay. Water can build up behind leaf debris dams and flow back through the home and into your attic. In less than 48 hours, mold and mildew can grow, causing serious problems throughout the structure. Remove all leaf litter around valleys, behind chimneys and against flashing to prevent premature roof decay and expensive roof repair.
• Discolorations - When inspecting your roof for problems before winter and summer wet weather, discolorations from rust or decaying sealants can be a sure sign that roof problems are on their way. Look for signs of rust on steel flashings or whitening on aluminum for signs that decay is occurring and roof leaks may be taking place without your knowledge. If you see any signs of discoloration on your roofing materials; don’t wait before it’s too late. Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 before discolorations lead to roof leaks.
• Curling - Curled shingles can be an instant warning that your shingles need care. Whether it’s from extreme UV damages or just because they are too old, curled shingles designate that something is wrong with your asphalt shingle roof. Repairing curled shingles is just the start of curing the problem. If attic temperatures are too hot and the attic space isn’t properly ventilated, it can cause shingles to warp and curl from the extreme heat. If you believe that your attic may be the cause of your curling shingles, Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 for a complete attic ventilation inspection and a free roof repair estimate.
• Gutters - Many times, gutters can be the cause of concern for roof leaks. When gutters are allowed to accumulate heavy loads of debris, they can become filled with water that has nowhere to go except inside of your home. Keep your gutters free and clear from debris to keep roof leaks at bay. When cleaning gutter systems, look for signs of heavy granule build up as this can be a sure sign that your shingles may need repairs. Even if your gutters aren’t clogged, they can still be cause for leak concerns if they are improperly installed or have the incorrect slope. Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 or send us an email at Roofer911@gmail.com and a we’ll send an experienced roofer to your home or business for a complete inspection of your roof, gutters, windows and siding to prevent leaks before they happen.
