Provide Roof Inspection To Avoid Water Damage To Your Home.

Roofs are often susceptible to water damage that can lead to structure and mold issues if not addressed.  There are several ways water can infiltrate building materials surrounding a roof and the top 3 are:

• Age- Roofing material deteriorate with age and becomes less effective at keeping out water.
• Debris- Building of debris such as twigs,leaves or pines needles can trap water against the roof and allow it to seep in by capillary action. Maintenance of roof cleaning is recommended. 
• Missing Shingles- Strong winds can rip shingles from the roof.

Most of the issues relating to a roof leak can be avoided by doing routine inspections of the attic/roof area on a regular basis.
