Why should I choose 1-800-Roofcare?
You may be calling us because you have an immediate and obvious roof repair need. Did you know that there are other important reasons to hire roofing services?
- As they say, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It’s very much the same with your roof as with any important structures in your home, your appliances, etc. You will want to regularly check and inspect things that jut up against and/or go through your roof, to make sure your roof does not get overburdened.
- Any damage to your roof at all is grounds for a valid insurance claim. You are within the guidelines of your policy to file with your insurance company. Why? Damage now doesn’t necessarily mean an immediate leak or problem. Water and other damage weaken your roof and you may not see consequences for 5 years or more.
- Wind and Hail Storm Damage can cause missing shingles. This kind of damage often happens during a hail storm if the winds are high enough, and in Chicago, and surrounding areas, this is one of the major weather threats to your roof. Hail damage is also insidious in nature and may not physically cause leakage for years after a hail storm.
What else should I consider for roof maintenance?
As we’ve already discussed, roofing material has to stand up to the elements in Chicago and the heavy winds, rain, snow, hail and sun. All parts of your roof and adjoining or attached items must be as weatherproof as possible. Here are the most common to inspect:
- The Chimney. Make sure you check the flashings around your drain pipes and places where they bend into the roof. Drains, pipes all can get cracks in them and be responsible for water leaks you might not know about until it’s too late.
- The Gutters. While important and they serve a vital function of draining water (i.e., rain and melting snow) off of your home, typically they are made of aluminum. Gutters are known to more easily bend and crack and when damaged, the improper drainage can back up and cause water damage, cracks a eventually leaks because the roof is “holding the bag” so to speak
- TheShingles. Laying on the slanted roof in an overlap fashion, shingles make a barrier for rain, sleet, snow and debris from trees and other objects to slide off the roof. They also protect the roof from the intense sunlight. When shingles decay or get damaged the roof becomes more exposed to roof rot, hence potential leaks and other problems may arise.
- The Soffit. In an effort to keep out critters and insects the soffit was “born.” This is a barrier made of a mesh under the place your roof hangs over beyond the house. Rodents love to chew and dig through the soffit. Even insects may look for safe places within or under the mesh where they can build nests. The last thing you need is a rodent or insect problem. Make no mistake these critters may be little but they are mighty and could easily cause damage.
- The Fascia. Right under the roof line and all along your building or house, the fascia is a board that falls prey to weather damage.
