Roofer Inver Grove Heights Minnesota | Common Types Of Roof Damage (Part 2)
Several types of roof damage can cause significant damage to your home. It’s important to contact your local roofing company to make any roof repairs, replacements, or roof installation as soon as possible. Part 1 of this blog series noted that wind damage and impact from debris, old and worn-out materials, and significant granule loss are all common types of roof damage. Here are 3 more common types of roof damage near Inver Grove Heights we come across: Roofer Inver Grove Heights Minnesota
Installation Errors
Unfortunately, a common cause of roof damage is improper installation. It’s crucial that you hire a local roofing contractor who has proper knowledge and experience, as well as the proper licensing and insurance to minimize liability risk. It’s also important for your licensed roofing contractor to use industry-standard materials and techniques that will help ensure lasting duration and resilience against the outdoor elements. Improper nailing techniques, askew shingles, damage while walking or turning, defective materials, and installing the shingle in the wrong location are all common errors we find during roof inspections near Inver Grove Heights. Contact Capstone Bros Contracting to ensure your roof is repaired, replaced, or installed with the care and quality your home deserves.
Mold And Mildew
Debris that falls onto your roof and stays there can often accumulate high levels of moisture. Leaves and small twigs will often blow off on their own, but larger debris like branches that stay in the same place will cause an overly shaded area and accumulate moisture that can seep under the shingles. We often see growths such as mildew, fungus, and mold under debris that has been in the same spot for a while. Moreover, when severe weather hits, wind can bring branches down onto the home and cause a great deal of storm damage (often from a significant impact), which is hazardous to your home if it goes unnoticed or unrepaired for an extended period of time. Contact your local roofing company to get a free roof inspection or to repair any damages.
Shingle Damage
Your shingles are the first line of defense to your roof and home. If your shingles are damaged, this is a quick way for other areas of your home to become impacted by severe weather. Your shingles might become damaged for several reasons. Hail damage can impact your shingles and cause denting, cracking, or bruising that can impact the layers below the shingle, as well as become a place where water can infiltrate the layers underneath. Wind damage can cause tearing, creasing, or folding to your shingles, or even completely tear off the shingle and leave the roofing underlayment exposed. Moreover, inexperienced homeowners who attempt to go on the roof to assess damage can cause damage themselves by walking around with improper footwear or haphazard foot traffic. Ensure you contact a professional roofing company to inspect your roof and make any necessary repairs or replacements to help your roof and home remain sound.
