A roof is your home’s shield against environmental forces. It should keep the rain, snow, and hail out of your house. If, however, you start to notice leaks coming from your roof, or the energy bill keeps increasing even though you haven’t changed a thing, something is up with your roofing system. Well, there’s no need to sweat it. First Out Roofing is only a call away. We have over 25 years of experience, and there isn’t a roofing problem that we can’t fix. You don’t want to wait until it’s too late to get it repaired. That will lead to an extensive and expensive project, as well as put you and your family’s safety at risk. Here are 3 signs that you need an emergency roof repair.
Damaged Shingles
Shingles protect the base layer of the roof from weathering elements. They are a central part of your roof and keep it intact. However, a storm or strong winds could damage the shingles. These winds can easily tear off shingles, hail can break them, or a tree branch can fall on them and cause a hole. These damaged shingles are a perfect area for water to leak and this causes surrounding shingles to get impaired. This can cause a ripple effect and land you in the need of an emergency roof repair.
Leaking Attic
Some signs of an emergency roof repair can be found inside your home. In fact, one of the commonly ignored places is the attic. However, this area of your home is very telling of the condition of your roof. The attic is the prime place for water to leak and collect. It may even appear on your walls. If you notice dips or cracks on the rafters and damage around any area where light can come through, you have a roofing problem.
If you notice scurrying sounds behind your walls or in your attic, you may also need an emergency roof repair. There could be squirrels, raccoons, rats, or other rodents in your home, due to holes in your roof.
Pestering Critters
Wild critters will take any chance they get to establish a nest or home on your property. Holes on your shingles are the perfect opportunity. Squirrels, birds, rats, etc can easily sneak in through these damaged shingles and end up in your home. They could nibble away your furniture and roof if you don’t put a stop to them! First Out Roofing can do an inspection to ensure that all issues are spotted and stopped before they become an expensive problem.
