Everyone in the Treasure Valley is looking forward to spring. With warmer weather on the horizon, you can finally relax, knowing you’ve survived another winter. However, spring comes with its own set of problems when it comes to the roof of your home. That’s why Madison Roofing would like to provide you with five of the most common Boise roofing problems to look out for this spring.
Damaged Chimney
If you live in an older home, you may have a damaged chimney. During the winter, snow settles on top of your chimney. When it melts, water can seep into any cracks that may have developed over time in a chimney’s crown. At night when it freezes again, the water will expand and push out the bricks and mortar. This can cause your chimney to fall off, and your roof will start to leak.
Nesting Wildlife
During the winter, wild animals look for a comfortable place to stay warm. If your roof has any loose shingles or a dormant chimney, pesky critters may be using these areas to create a cozy nest. Usually, you can tell you have nesting wildlife when you start to hear random animal noises or if there is an increase in animal activity around your home. If this is the case, contact a local animal removal company. Once any critters have been removed, you can call Madison Roofing, so we can inspect the damage and repair it as soon as possible.
Clogged or Damaged Gutters
Leaves and other falling debris that have collected over the winter months can clog your gutters and damage them. There are a lot of Treasure Valley homeowners who do their spring cleaning, only to find out they have a damaged roof due to backed-up gutters. If you find yourself facing this kind of situation, contact Madison Roofing for a professional inspection and repair service.
Missing Or Damaged Shingles
The shingles of your roof take quite the beating during the winter. While most roofing shingles are tough enough to withstand the harshest elements, it’s possible to find areas of damage during the spring. Without proper installation, you may find you have a few missing or damaged shingles when the weather warms up.
Leaky Roof
When the snow starts to melt and spring arrives, you may notice some sudden leaks in your roof. No matter how minor you might think the problem is, it’s best to contact Madison Roofing to check and repair any problems to prevent bigger, more costly damage down the road.
