Why You Shouldn't Ignore Even The Smallest Roofing Problems

Just a Leaky Vent Boot at First...

This homeowner initially called to get a roof inspection after noticing some leaking. His insurance company believed it was a simple issue with flashing around the vent boot and required a roofing repair at most. Sean came out to do an in-depth, 19 point inspection and found more than just a leaky vent boot. He did, however, replace the leaky vent boot with a new Perma boot in the meantime.

It Wasn't JUST the Vent Boot

Sean found several issues with the roof, gutters, attic insulation, ventilation, and air sealing. The roof had no ice and water shield, therefore no waterproofing, making it more prone to leaks, and the asphalt shingles were showing significant wear and tear. Inside the attic, the homeowner didn't have adequate insulation, and in some places, had no insulation at all!

If it wasn't enough, even the homeowner's gutters were failing. The gutters were full of ice dams. The weight pulled the gutters away from the side of the home, practically negating the purpose of the gutters and downspout and endangering the foundation!

After this, Sean knew the roof was definitely in need of a replacement. The homeowner ended up getting a new roof. He also replaced his gutters and the insulation in his home's primary structures.
