Does Your Canton, Ohio Home Have a Leaky Roof?

What are the potential consequences of leaks and other roofing damage?

Roof damage, especially leaks, causes a number of negative consequences, including:

  • Water Damage. Most of the interior components of our home were not designed to withstand extended exposure to water and suffer greatly when such exposure happens. Damage to ceilings, walls, and floors is the most obvious. Water can stain and discolor paint, crack drywall and other similar materials, peel wallpaper, and warp hardwood flooring. Water from leaks can also destroy furniture, wall decorations, and electronic devices such as television sets. Although this type of damage can end up costing you thousands of dollars, it pales in severity to what could be going on unseen behind wall. Even the sturdiest support beams weaken after extended exposure to water, and metal components such as nails and screws can rust. If these problems go unresolved for long enough, structural damage so severe that your entire home is threatened can ensue.
  • Temperature Regulation Problems. Even tiny openings in a roof allow for the exchange of air between the inside and outside of a home. The air that our home’s temperature regulation system worked to heat or cool escapes and is replaced with exterior air. Our homes therefore become hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter. Although serious throughout the year, this problem is most severe in the Northern Ohio winters because warm air rises and is most likely to exit through a roof. Roof damage can put such a strain on your heating and air conditioning units that your electricity and gas bills could go up by more than $100 a month.
  • Pest Problems. Our climate-controlled, predator-free homes full of edible food and drinkable water are not only very appealing to humans; they are also highly desirable dwellings for a variety of pest species. Small invertebrates such as flies and spiders can infiltrate a home through even tiny cracks in a roof, while larger mammals such as squirrels and raccoons can chew and tear through weakened roofs seeking food and shelter. However, the most potentially dangerous and costly invader is mold. Mold requires moisture to survive, and thrives in dark spaces dampened by a roof leak. As mold reproduces, it sends out countless microscopic spores. These spores, which are easily breathed in by humans and pets, can cause allergic reactions, bronchitis inflammation, and other severe respiratory conditions, some of which can be fatal. Mold also feeds cockroaches and other pests, whose numbers explode in its presence. Mold removal can be very costly and challenging.

How can 1-800-Roofcare assist me with my roofing needs?

1-800-Roofcare can. We are a national association of independently operated roofing contractors with members in Canton and other communities across America. We want to be the only roof care provider you will ever need. Among the many services we offer include:

  • Roof Inspection and Maintenance. 1-800-Roofcare recommends that all homeowners have their roofs inspected by a professional contractor at least twice a year. These inspections can determine the general condition of the roof, as well as identifying potential problems. Resolving issues early can prevent leaks from developing and damaging your home. Other routine maintenance procedures that 1-800-Roofcare can help you with include debris clearing, washing, and certain anti-algal and anti-fungal treatments.
  • Roof Repair. Our local affiliates have been working on roofs in the Canton area for years and can handle any form of roof repair, minor or major. The repair options available to you will be determined by the overall condition of your roof as well as the severity of the damage. For example, isolated loose shingles can be tightened down, or a single cracked tile can often be replaced. It is always ideal to repair any roofing issues as soon as they become evident to prevent the damage from spreading to other areas of the roof and the interior of the home.
  • Roof Re-Covering and Replacement. The Ohio elements can be very harsh, and our roofs take the full brunt of their constant assault. The summer sun bakes roofs, while the cold winter winds can turn roofing materials brittle. Water from rain and melting snow weakens roofs when wet and expands and warps them if it freezes. Eventually, nature wins the battle against the roof, and it needs to be replaced. The lifespan of a roof varies tremendously depending on such factors as the material that the roof is made out of, the amount of direct sunlight the roof is exposed to, and how well-maintained the roof is throughout its life. Most modern roofs last at least 20 years, but some can theoretically last for 100 or more. In most cases, you will have to remove the entire existing roof before installing a new one, but in limited circumstances you may be able to re-cover your roof with new roofing materials without removing what is already there.
