STORM DAMAGE AND ROOF REPAIR
The Causes Behind the Problems
There are many things out there that could potentially damage your rooftop, here at ML Roofing Residential we have found there are a few typical causes of roof issues. Age is one and no matter how high quality the material is at installation or how well the homeowner cares for it, every residential roofing system will eventually reach the end of its lifespan. Exposed to the elements all day, every day, it will deteriorate. Roofing can become discolored, brittle, crack, leak, dented and/or rusted.
Main typical causes for roof issues:
POOR INSTALLATION • POOR MAINTENANCE • STORM DAMAGE
Poor installation
Well-meaning homeowners and inexperienced residential roofing contractors can make drastic mistakes that will shorten the life of your rooftop. During installation, it is imperative that the manufacturer’s guidelines be followed. Failure to do so can result in a roof that will not be covered by your warranty.
Poor maintenance
Just like any other investment, your roofing needs to be cared for and regularly tended to. Low-hanging tree branches can scrape against the surface of asphalt roofing and cause degranulation. Piles of leaves and other debris can hold water against the surface and weaken the spots, making them vulnerable to leaks, mold and insect infestation. Having a professional roofing service handle regular maintenance will help to prevent minor issues from becoming expensive repairs or early replacements.
Storm damage
From hurricanes to hail, strong wind and storm driven rain, just about any type of weather can cause minor to devastating damage to your home and there is no material that is impervious.
