Roof repair in Elmvale; make the most of it

• If you have problems on your roof would you know? Do you know how to tell the difference between a failing shingle and one that is in good shape? If you thought about it probably, but roofing problems seldom come when you are looking for them and they seem to manifest themselves at the most inopportune time. Shingles crack, curl or chip due to exposure to the elements, shingles can come loose during a winds storm or be struck by tree branches. All these instances can create a scenario for a roof repair in Elmvale, and if you don’t get on top of the small problems they grow to giant-sized problems with a giant-sized price tag if you don’t take action. Water will take a run of the mill roof repair in Elmvale and turn it into a monster if the gaps and exposed areas aren’t covered quickly and the homeowner will need to spend excessively to make the roof sturdy and waterproof again.
• Next stop on the water drainage highway is the valleys that coordinate water movement from the top of the roof to the rain gutters at the edge of the roof. Water is streamed across the shingles and sent to the valleys for accelerated movement to the gutters. The valleys need the roof’s structural integrity to be sound to keep the angle in place so water can be moved by gravity to the ground. If water isn’t moving you know you have a problem, especially in light of the fact that roof may be sagging – if that is the case water damage has occurred and it has damaged the supports of the roof. Flat spots become prevalent and water will sit, or pool and leak into the house, further damaging the supports for the roof.
• We should clean our rain gutters once a year at least, they get the water off the roof and away from the house working in concert with the downspout system. If you don’t have a regular cleaning schedule set up for the gutters, expect that debris will find its way into the channels and impede drainage. If the blockage becomes significant enough it force water over the sides of the channels and to the ground in areas that weren’t designed to drain water from and the puddles mean leaks at the foundation. If water doesn’t drain and it freezes in the channels it will crack and or split the channels and can force the gutters away from the fascia. That may not be a problem right now, but the spring thaw will be another story and you don’t want to be standing in an inch of water in your basement because you didn’t clean your gutters, now do you? 
• The last place you would think of for a water leak in your house s the first place you should look and that is the chimney and skylight. Your roofing system is a layered lid on your home and roofing contractors go to great lengths to cover and recover areas to prevent water invasion. But with a skylight and chimney they are cut into the roof and water sealed with a bead of caulking to keep water out. This is a big risk if you aren’t keen on checking the caulking every so often – caulking can shrink or crack and those are places where water can find a way to your roof. With a skylight, you see water, you clean up water; you get on the roof and check the caulking as add more or replace what is there. At the chimney, you never know when the caulking has failed, creating a perfect storm for a high-dollar roof repair. If you are cleaning gutters, check the seals too because a penny saved is a penny earned.
