Roof leaks, when not addressed, can affect different parts of your home. Keep in mind that water damage can involve costly repairs. Fortunately, there are different ways you can avoid dealing with this common residential and commercial roofing issue.
Here are tips to prevent water damage from occurring on your roof.
The main purpose of your gutters is to safely divert water away from your home or building. However, when the system gets clogged with debris, water can overflow to your siding and back up to the roof. Failure to address this problem immediately can result in different issues, such as roof, siding and foundation damage. To prevent this scenario, make sure to have your gutters regularly cleaned. You can also invest in a gutter protection system to minimize debris that enters the gutters.
If you believe something’s not right with your commercial or residential roofing system, immediately contact your contractor. For instance, if there’s ponding water on your roof, it’s best to get in touch with your roofer ASAP. Never delay repairs because doing so will only make the problem worse. The earlier you can spot the problem, the better and the less likely you’ll pay for costly repairs.
Routine inspections and maintenance can help detect and address roofing problems while they are small. Remember that a well-maintained roof usually lasts longer. It’s also a good idea to check your attic ceiling for signs of water damage. Look for rotting, water stains on the walls and ceilings, and moldy insulation. Call your roofer immediately if you see any of these signs in the area.
