Roofing maintenance is a vital part of homeownership. Your roof protects your house from the elements, ensures proper heating, and keeps out pests. When your roof is damaged, it can allow water to get into the attic which could lead to the growth of mold. Issues with the roof can cause problems to other areas of your home, including the fascia and the foundation. Damage can be caused by UV rays, hail, high winds, the freezing and thawing of water, walking on the roof, pests, and even just the age of the roof, as different materials age at different rates. Whatever the cause, there are 4 common roofing repairs that will keep your home in top quality shape.
Shingle Repair And Replacement
One of the most common roof repairs is the updating of shingles. If shingles have suffered minor damage, they can be repaired, but if the shingles are too heavily damaged or are missing, they need replacement. Shingles are constantly exposed to the elements and can develop a variety of issues including a loss of granules, blisters, cracks, and shrinkage and could begin to tear off or lift. Shingles can also become damaged from people walking on them, for example when putting up Christmas lights. Any damage to the shingles can allow water into the roof and can further the degradation of the shingle.
Gutter Maintenance
Gutters play an important role in protecting your home: gutters direct water off of the roof and away from your home to protect the foundation of the building. If this water is not directed away from the base of your house, it can cause cracks to develop in the foundation. When gutters are clogged or damaged (typically through rust or tears at the seams of the gutters), water will accumulate near the home and cause damage. If gutters are too clogged and become heavy, they can pull down and tear away from the home. Blocked gutters can also cause damage to the fascia. Often, gutter maintenance requires clearing out the gutters, although it may also require gutter repair or even gutter replacement, depending on the age and condition of the gutters.
Leak Repair
A leaky roof can lead to serious issues if it is not repaired early. If your roof is leaking, water is getting in through the roof and likely causing mold and damage. Leaks can also lead to further damage when water gets into different areas and expands as it freezes. This is especially harmful in the early spring when temperatures drop to freezing overnight and water thaws during the day, as this leads to a consistent increase in the size of cracks or damages. Leaks can be difficult to find and may require the expertise of a professional roofing company.
Fascia Replacement
The fascia is the portion of the roof that protects the lower edge that hangs just beyond the sides of the house. While fascia can be made out of different materials, it is most commonly made of wood. If your fascia begins to rot, warp, or mold, it will need to be replaced so that it can continue to protect your home from the elements as well as keep out creatures such as bugs and rodents.
