Springtime in the Rockies is unpredictable, to say the least. Rain, snow, hail, we get it all during the spring season! This is why now is the perfect time to maintain your home and get it ready for the approaching summer months. Most homeowners will get out the hose, lawnmower, and bush trimmer to start maintaining their property, but don’t stop there! Local Aurora roofing companies know that this is the time of year that you want to make sure your roof and gutters are still in good shape and protecting your home or business.
April showers bring May flowers, but they can also create severe damage to your home if your roof is leaking!
Don’t get hit with sudden expensive repair bills, keep a tight eye on your roof and gutters. When a gutter is plugged with dirt and debris or busted, it can cause tremendous water damage to the interior and exterior of your home. Ice dams are also more prone to develop on gutters that are not draining well, so if you had ice dams last winter that could be the reason why. It could also be from poor attic ventilation. Both of these dilemmas can be recognized and resolved with our Aurora roof repair services.
Spring storms can cause roof leaks if they are not resolved quickly!
After a heavy storm or large amounts of wind-driven rain hit your home, look in your attic for signs of water leaking through your roof. If you see any moisture, it could be from damaged shingles, flashing, or not enough underlayment was placed in the right places. Captured moisture inside of a home from poor ventilation or roof leaks can also cause the paint on the interior and exterior of your home to peel and crack. The last thing a homeowner wants to deal with is a massive reconstruction project from neglecting their roofing system. So when you are doing your spring cleaning and home maintenance this year, be sure to check on your roof and gutters and get a professional Aurora roofing inspection at least once a year.
