Roofing: Key Danger Signals
If you notice the start of any of these early problem signs it might be time
for SuperPro.
Decay of roof
shingles, sheathing,
and/or siding
Possible cause: Poor attic ventilation |
 |
Missing, cracked
or curled shingles
Possible cause: Shingles have reached the end
of their useful life |
 |
Dark, "dirty-looking"
areas on your roof
Possible cause: Environmental pollutants; vegetation, fungus or algae;
loss of granules
due to age of shingles |
 |
Excessive energy costs
Possible cause: Insufficient attic ventilation causes heating/cooling
system to run excessively
In warm weather, inadequate ventilation will trap hot air in
the attic, causing air conditioning systems to work harder, or leaving
your home's interior hotter and less comfortable. Attic Ventilation: In
both hot and cold weather, insufficient attic ventilation may cause
moisture in the attic to become trapped and condense on the rafters.
This condensed moisture can drip down onto the insulation and reduce its
effectiveness.
Excessive energy costs can result. |
