The Roofing Contractor in Oklahoma City OK Should Inspect Your Roof For Damage by the Winter Storms
The weather has been horribly hard on roofs in Omaha, NE, Oklahoma City, OK, and the surrounding communities. Many homeowners who believe that they have not experienced roof damage because they cannot see it have some damage to their roof. The weather that blew through this area a number of times is sure to have left some minor problems that the homeowner cannot see.
An experienced roofing technician from the Roofing Contractor in Oklahoma City OK, should inspect the roof for any of the many problems which could have been in existence and those caused by the weather. The homeowner should be concerned about any problem that will allow water to leak into the attic and run down the roof supports to the area behind the walls in the living space.
These roof problems can be in any number of places. The following are concerns that need to be reviewed by the technician:
* Nail pops caused by time or by the force of the wind blowing on the shingles. There is a possibility the shingles were not nailed properly when they were installed. These shingles will allow water to get on the decking which will start the process of rotting the decking.
* Shingles blown out of position, exposing the decking to water.
* The Starter Strip Shingles should be intact to prevent the wind from blowing rain up under the shingles.
* The Ridge Cap shingles should be inspected since they protect a large area of the roof.
The caulking around the openings in the roof can deteriorate from the effects of the weather. If top quality caulking was not used in the initial installation, then it will begin to separate, allowing water to get into the home. New high tech caulking is available that will withstand the forces of nature very well.
The Roofing Contractor in Oklahoma City OK is familiar with these products and they can seal any opening with them. The two objectives of the roof inspection are to find any place where water can get into the house, and to find decking that is rotted which will allow water to enter.
