Over time, your roof will experience wear and tear through rain, wind or even wayward tree branches. Some of this damage may require the help of a residential roofing contractor.
6 Signs You Need Residential Roofing Services
Although some roof issues can be sorted out with carefully done DIY, it’s not the best idea. We’re not all residential roofers, so it’s difficult to know when it might be necessary to perform some maintenance and revamp your roof plan. Here are some signs that you need to get professional residential roofing services.
Shingle Damage
Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense against the elements, so if you notice that any are missing or damaged, you may need to get in touch with a professional roofer. Shingle damage can be a sign of bigger roof problems, like poor ventilation or moisture regulation, so acting swiftly with the help of a residential roofing contractor is the best plan of action to keep your roof at peak functionality.
Defective Flashing
Flashing is the thin metal material installed around your roof used to prevent leaks from forming around chimneys, skylights, or the meeting of two sections of roof. If you notice any leaks or water damage around these areas, your flashing may need to be reinstalled or updated. Because of its fragile yet indispensable nature, consider contracting a residential roofer who will take the time to expertly install fresh flashing and keep your roof free of leaks.
Structural Damage
The structural integrity of your roof is vital to its health. If a large tree or branch falls on your roof, it may cause severe damage to your roofing materials, leading to leaks and/or water damage within your home. Moreover, termites, timber rot, and sagging roofs are all also signs of structural damage. If you notice structural issues in and around your roof, you should contact a residential roofer in order to keep your home safe and your roof stable.
Poor Ventilation
Your roof needs proper ventilation to regulate moisture throughout your home. Most roofs require a few well-placed vents throughout the attic to maintain good airflow. Mold, rot, pests, or an unusually high energy bill may be signs of improper ventilation within your home. A professional roofing company can help pinpoint these airflow issues and suggest a residential roof plan to keep costs down, pests away, and moisture out.
Gutter or Downspout Issues
Your gutters and downspout redirect water from your roof to designated areas outside your home. If you notice water pooling on your roof, it may be a sign that your gutters or downspout need to be unclogged, snaked, or otherwise repaired by a residential roofer. Left unchecked, this stagnant water can degrade your roof material and cause water damage to your ceilings and walls.
There are many possible causes of water damage in your home, whether it be improper channeling of runoff in your gutters, structural damage to your roof material, or even just poor ventilation. In other cases, the cause of water damage may be more difficult to determine by yourself. A professional residential roofing contractor can determine the cause of the leaking, and they know how to stop it.
Kirberg Can Help You With Your Residential Roof Plan
When you start noticing these signs of roof damage, contacting a residential roofing contractor is your best move. Roofing is dangerous work, and hiring a residential roofer who is trained and insured can alleviate the stress of performing the labor yourself. Roofers will perform an initial inspection of your roof issues and damages and give you an estimate of the cost of labor and materials needed for your roofing repair. Maybe your flashing needs to be replaced, or your attic needs a second vent installed. Residential roofing contractors can determine an actionable strategy for dealing with those problems, and after these initial steps, they can begin to work on mitigating and solving your roof problems.
Kirberg’s residential roofers have been performing this type of quality roofing for over 100 years while offering free estimates for roofing services. Contact Kirberg Roofing today for any questions regarding your roof system.
