What to do if Your Roof Vents Leak During the Rain

A roof vent that leaks in the rain isn’t something you want to put off until the next sunny weekend. If you need a fast fix, you can tarp over the area, but this is temporary at best and interferes with the ventilation balance in your attic. The good news? All of the most common causes, including cracked flashing, sealant, or nearby shingles, are relatively easy and inexpensive to fix. Sometimes the vent itself has to be replaced completely.

Is Roof Restoration Right for Rental Property Landlords?

Most tenants appreciate when landlords keep up on maintenance, but a multi-day tear-off with dumpsters in the driveway can be so disruptive, you have to temporarily relocate them into other accommodations. Roof restoration helps you take care of minor repair needs for up to 80% less and takes less than an afternoon, and it can also help you get up to 15 more years of life out of each roof. More time between replacements means more money in your pocket, especially when you scale it across your portfolio.

What Is Granule Loss & What Does It Have to Do with Shingle Health?

Finding sandy grit in your gutters, along the roof line, or under downspouts? Your roof may be shedding the protective layer of ceramic-coated stone and slag on the surface of your shingles. While it is normal to lose some grit in the first few months after a new roof is installed, protracted or extensive granule loss is never normal and must be addressed right away to prevent further damage.

High attic humidity rots out wooden decking, corrodes fasteners, and creates a breeding ground for mold. Once the wood and other materials get wet, they can swell and warp enough to push the shingles up away from your roof. Improving your ventilation and making attic checks a regular part of your maintenance plan can help you avoid disaster.
