Superior Roofing

The roofing system is one of the essential parts of your home. Its regular upkeep is highly critical to ensure it remains functional. While its decline is inevitable, people should prioritize taking good care of the roof’s most vulnerable areas. Here, we delve into each layer you should prioritize.

1. Attic space: Damaged wood, water stains, damp insulation and mold following storms are significant indicators that water has penetrated inside. These are less likely to get exposed to moisture due to their location. However, material issues found in the exterior increase the chances.
2. Fascia is the vertical frieze or band under the roof’s edge that forms the outer surface. It’s considered one of the weakest parts of your roofing, so it needs to be taken care of regularly. If you see any water damage, you can call for professional help right away.
3. Ridge vents: While these are located at the top, leaks are likely to form at this spot. If you observe wet or stained wood, then you should schedule an appointment with your roofer to have your vents replaced right away.
4. Roof valley: Water runoff is channeled through this area before flowing through the gutters and away from your home. Flashing is required to be installed over the valley, which means the material must be tightly adhered to prevent water from seeping into the roof’s inner layers.
5. Shingles: High winds can loosen or blow shingles off, causing brittle and dryness. Once compromised, they will begin to form leaks, leaving your home open to water damage.
