The best choice to
fix a leaking roof is the roofing company Charlotte homeowners prefer
It takes a bit of detective work to pinpoint roof leaks
which is why it is usually best to hire the best professional roofing company
Charlotte offers, Advanced Roofing and Exteriors to determine the extent of
roof damage to your Charlotte or Concord NC home and provide an estimate for
repairs. If you do want to try and
locate the roof leak yourself, there are certain steps you should take to
ensure your success.
Use a good
flashlight and visit the attic
It is typically best to do this while it is raining or
right afterward, since dry stains are harder to find. You should also look for evidence of mold
growth. Since mold thrives on moisture,
if you find a patch of mold, you may have found the source of the leak.
Check the
insulation
If you see damaged insulation, carefully remove the
damaged sections and look for signs of a leak on the underside of the
roof. The professional roofers and
inspectors at Advanced Roofing and Exteriors, the best roofing company
Charlotte offers can easily do a thorough inspection for leaks.
Check for pin
holes or foreign objects
Often, some type of object has pierced the roof and
created pin holes. For example, a
roofing nail that was improperly installed can easily go through shingles and
decking causing a pin hole that allows water in.
If you have a roof leak in your Charlotte or Concord NC
home call Advanced Roofing and Exteriors, the roofing company Charlotte
homeowners prefer.
