Keeping You Covered

When talking about a home, often times we talk about the foundation, a critical piece to a stable and well built home. The foundation keeps everything up right, even against the shifting ground conditions that Pennsylvania experiences from heavy snow and rain. While the foundation is important, it isn’t the only part of your home that needs to be well built. Having a solid roof is just as important, if not more so. Having a well constructed and well maintained roof goes a long way towards not only protecting your home but everything inside it as well. A good roof not only keeps the elements out, it also helps to maintain the temperature in your home. When your roof is well cared for, it can help to lower your heating bills during the winter and drop the energy costs to keep your house cool during the summer.

When the Wind Blows and the Rain Falls 

There are few things that can be more devastating than having a roof leak. As the water seeps in, it can damage not only belongings that you keeps stored in the attic, which for most people can be a lot of sentimental pieces but also seasonal belongings that aren’t needed year round. Not only can it ruin your belongings, but the water can sit and stagnate, leaving it prone to mold growth that can be detrimental to you and your family’s health, as well as that of your home. As the water continues to trickle and flow through the weak spots in your home, it can soak into the insulation and begin to ruin the ceilings. Ugly brown water rings are only part of the concern, as the water weakens the drywall it can begin to soften and eventually collapse. Because of these reasons, its beyond important to find the source of that leak and repair it quickly.

The Weight of Snow 

Rain is one thing, but if you live in Pennsylvania, you’re also familiar with snow. Snow can get heavy, and quickly, because it continues to lay and build. A weak spot in your roof can quickly become more than just an inconvenience when the heavy snows start to fall during the winter. As more snow builds, the weight from it can cause that weak spot to buckle and eventually cave in. Not only does this make your house unsafe, but it can also make it uninhabitable as there’s almost no way to keep the heat in during those long cold months. The only thing worse than having to get your roof repaired is trying to do so in the freezing cold. Roof repairs are not for the faint of heart handyman, trying to do so while everything is wet and possible frozen adds another level of difficulty that some just don’t have the skill or even the will to attempt.
