Ice Dams and Winter Storm Damage
|
This winter has been especially harsh. The extremely low temperatures and
the unusually large snow fall puts a lot of stress on your roof. The potential
for damage is higher under these conditions.
To protect your home and prevent or limit damage, you should look for signs of
problems. If you can, take a look at your roof from the inside and out. Here are
things to look for from the outside: |
- Ice dams
- Ice underneath and lifting shingles
- Signs of water leakage such as streaking down the side of the house
- Signs of uneven heat loss - melting in some areas, frozen in others
- Hail damage
- Missing/torn off shingles
- Sagging boards
- Buckling/wavy shingles
- Cracked and damaged flashing around chimneys and stacks
|
|
Also, take a look at your roof from the attic. Here are things to look for
from the inside: |
- Water dripping
- Water stains on rafters
- Damp Insulation or damp spots
- Sagging boards (also check from the outside))
- Signs of mold and mildew
- Dampess and poor air circulation
|
|

professional inspect your roof, contact J-Saf Roofing to schedule a free
