What Can Cause A Roof To Rot From Within

When it comes to your house, your roof is one of the most integral parts of it. Without it you wouldn’t actually be able to call it a house. That’s why it is important to make sure you are taking care of it. Without proper maintenance your roof could begin create a real problem within your household, being the catalyst for many of headaches. A roof leak can quickly spiral out of control. Mold can start to grow within 24 to 48 hours on damp surfaces. Causing you to have more than just a leaky roof to fix. My Florida Roofing Contractor is the best out of the Vero Beach roofing contractors. Why is that? Well simply put we have an experienced, and passionate team that understands the importance of keeping and maintain your roof.

 

Signs Of a Leaky Roof

A  leaking roof will sometimes be very easy to spot. From water dripping to dark stains starting to form on a wall. It won’t take much to realize what is going on there.

 

On the other hand there is the possibility it might be a little more hidden. The area may be lighter in color, and smaller. Even so, this does not make fixing the issue any less urgent. A leaking roof causes damage over time that will continue to get worse, and will require significant repairs. For convenience here is a list of things that could potentially mean a leaky roof.

 

  • Water Stains or damp spots on your ceiling
  • Dripping sounds inside your home
  • A musty smell within the home
  • Loose shingles laying in the yard
  • Cracked or damaged flashing around roof vents
  • Loose flashing or cracked sealants around your chimney
  • Roof rot with discolored or excessively degraded shingles
  • Moist drywall or paint around light fixtures or electrical outlets
  • Debris piles in roof valleys
  • Water stains on rafters or on roof sheathing inside your attic

 

Finding a Roof Leak

Finding a source can turn out to be quite the difficult task. As all it takes is a small opening for water to begin flowing through. Sometimes the leak will show up several feet from where the entry point is, making it even harder to pinpoint a location.

 

One way to go about it is a roof leak test. This could be done while raining, or just with a friend on the roof with a hose. Either way you go about it the goal is the same. Look for the spot in which the water is leaking to. This can be done by apply water to small sections of the roof while communicating with who ever is inside looking for the leak.

My Florida Roofing was phenomenal, always on time and detail oriented. Very knowledgeable on the different types of roofs and options. Felix and Maria, picked up the phone immediately and always answered my questions. The owner Rene was on site frequently looking over the job. They were also the best priced and were even recommended by other roofing companies. Very happy with the outcome.

Having my roof done by My Florida Roofing has been nothing less than an excellent experience. The entire team has been super professional and attentive from the beginning. From the office team who handles the paperwork/permits and customer service and quickly sets up appointments; to Felix, our very knowledgeable and courteous sales rep, who was in constant contact throughout the project time, to give us updates and check up on us; to the installers who did an amazing job; to the owner who made sure to personally come and inspect before, during and after the roof was installed. Everyone did an outstanding job. Now let's talk about GOING ABOVE & BEYOND: Maria - the project manager. She was absolutely the person that made the entire process smooth and easy. She was always available to answer any questions and to give me updates (Maria - you are amazing- thank you!) We love our new roof. I am thrilled we decided to use My Florida Roofing. Thank you! I totally recommend this company and to anyone who needs to come by and see our roof we are at Lindsey Lanes - Vero Beach (house will be painted off-white soon, but for now is Yellow) - See photo for reference.
