Down Came the Rain

Nestled indoors during the winter months, we may completely forget about the roof protecting us overhead. In fact, we may remain blissfully unaware of the ravages of cold weather. That is until, suddenly, giant drops of water plonk down upon our heads. Then, down came the rain and it’s caused irreversible damage to the roof. Now what? Do you ignore it and hope for the best? Or do you take immediate action?

Fortunately, Shoreline offers a full spectrum of roof repair services. We also have several excellent suggestions on how to avoid leaks or further damage in the future. In addition, we provide 24/7 emergency roofing repair throughout the Victoria region. In the event of a small roof leak, we can safely place a temporary roof tarp to prevent further harm. Then, our professional roofers can get your roof back into perfect shape.

But…

What can happen if you avoid repairing leaks?

• Shingles that flew away with the wind or became loose require efficient replacement since leaks could grow and lead to an entire roof fail.
• A build-up of leaves and branches on the roof could turn into a serious mold and mildew problem. Don’t let your precious roof succumb to rot and decay.
• Birds or other critters may have built nests in the attic over the cold months. Therefore, the attic needs to be inspected for damage and leaks caused by pests.
• Neglected gutters can cause a great deal of damage to house siding and walkways due to water overflow. They may also leak inside the home, causing more mold and mildew problems.
• An overlooked leak can cause insulation to mold and rot.
• Furthermore, a leak left unrepaired can cause irreparable damage to roof sheathing, drywall, and framing. This leads to increasingly more expensive issues to fix.

If all this sounds scary and overwhelming, our roofing professionals can assist.
