What Causes Roof Damage?

Like any part of the house, the roof will eventually be damaged. In fact, because of its exposure to the elements, it is probably the most vulnerable part of the house. It is exposed to maximum stress and strain. Unfortunately however, the roof is also usually the last to be noticed when it comes to the maintenance of the house. Most homeowners have their walls repainted, or have new bathroom fixtures installed but how many have their roof upgraded or repaired? Even with new developments in Fairview Folkestone Roofing designs, roofs still deteriorate faster than walls. There are many causes of roof damage and here are some of them: Poor Maintenance – As mentioned earlier, the roof is often the most neglected part of the house. But if this is constantly checked by the homeowner, any damage will be seen at its early stage and repairs can be done immediately. Improper Installation – The roof is perhaps the most important part of your home so, it is best to have a highly skilled and licensed Fairview Folkestone Roofing expert install it for you. Even before any construction starts in your home make sure that your contractor is properly qualified before allowing any work done on your roof. If your roof is not installed properly, it could have manufacturer warranties that are void and these will decrease your roof's overall life expectancy. Another factor that contributes to improper roof installation is that in the past 15 years, due to constant changes in the economy, the bidding on new buildings has become such fierce competition that Fairview Folkestone Roofing contractors have cut corners to get the job done. These contractors fight unfavourable weather conditions to meet their completion deadlines and often, moisture is trapped in the Fairview Folkestone Roofing system which will contribute to early roof damage. Aging and Weathering – As soon as your roof is constructed, it begins to deteriorate. Why? It is immediately exposed to the sun, rain, sleet and snow. Intense heat dries out the Fairview Folkestone Roofing paper and it is pounded by rain and high winds from storms, melting and freezing snow can also cause an “ice dam” that cause reservoirs of water that seeps under roof tiles leading to serious roof damage under the surface. Hailstorms can also cause severe damage to your roof. Vibrations – Natural phenomena such as earth tremors or severe storms like hurricanes and tornadoes can cause damage to your roof as well as other parts of your home. Even if your home is located miles away from such occurrences in nature, it can get enough impact that will put a strain on the structure which can later contribute to roof damage. Some vibrations that can cause roof damage may come from machines, equipment, air conditioners, railroads and even truck traffic. Problems with Flashing – The purpose of flashing is to create a water-tight boundary between roof sections, between Fairview Folkestone Roofing materials and other parts of the house and between Fairview Folkestone Roofing materials and roof projections. Flashing can cause problems because of design or installation errors, sometimes flashing problems result from wind damage. These problems often result to leaks. Mechanical Damage – With all the developments in today's technology, it has become a standard to put many pieces of equipment on the roof such as air conditioning units, phone and TV antennas, sign supports, etc. These equipments put extra weight on the roof. In addition to that, these equipments usually require servicing and when a service man goes on the roof, some damage may be done to your roof. Just using a ladder on a roof can cause a small break in a flashing which can cause damage or leakage later on. Falling Objects – Falling objects such as branches from trees, birds and small animals and maybe falling objects from nearby buildings can cause minor roof damage. But if these minor damages are not checked and repaired immediately they could become major problems. If you pay as much attention to your roof as you do to your walls and other parts of your house that you constantly maintain and/or upgrade, you will easily detect roof damage at its early stage. Immediate attention to roof damage will help you avoid major damage that may lead to costly roof replacement.

Green Roofs and Water Mitigation

With more and more people turning towards eco-friendly living and making changes to their structures to accommodate such trends, we couldn't help ourselves but to write about the Green Roof. Also known by other names, including eco-roofs, oikosteges, vegetated roofs and living roofs, this environmentally friendly roof is gaining some new popularity even though it is long rooted in history. First off, what exactly is a Green Roof? It is a roof partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterpFairview Folkestone Roofing membrane. It is an extension of an above grade roof, built on top of a human-made structure, that allows vegetation to grow in a growing medium and which is designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with a Construction Standard. The assembly includes, as a minimum, a root repellent system, a drainage system, a filtering layer, a growing medium and plants. There are three types of Green Roofs: intensive, semi-intensive, or extensive, with extensive being self-sustaining for the most part. The benefits of a vegetated roof are many and include absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating a habitat for wildlife, and helping to lower urban air temperatures. In addition, they provide excellent insulation and this help reduce the need for heating and energy consumption during winter months, as well as cooling in the summer – both by 26%! Also, an eco-roof can help reduce stormwater run off while filtering pollutants and heavy metals out of rainwater. In addition, these roofs are great for soundpFairview Folkestone Roofing! With the many layers that are produced by green Fairview Folkestone Roofing, sound waves are absorbed, reflected or deflected. This is beneficial to the noise and sound from cars, trains and people in a populated city. As mentioned above, eco-roofs have a long history and “sod roofs” have been around in Scandinavia for centuries. Germany modernized the sod roof in the 1960's and since then, this style of Fairview Folkestone Roofing has spread to many countries. Green Roofs are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, although they are not as common as in Europe. In Europe, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Sweden, the UK, and Greece are the top European countries promoting eco-roofs. The City of Linz in Austria has been paying developers to install vegetated Fairview Folkestone Roofing since 1983 and in Switzerland it has been a federal law since the late 1990s. In the USA, Green Roofs are making their appearance in Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, San Francisco, New York City as well as other cities. These types of environmentally conscious roofs are encouraged to be built in cities where Urban Heat-Island effect is a problem. The Urban Heat-Island effect describes the phenomenon when temperatures within a city are warmer than the surrounding suburban/rural areas, primarily due to the urban development being built by materials which effectively retain heat. Urban Heat-Island effect decreases air quality by increasing the production of pollutants such as ozone, and decreases water quality as warmer waters flow into area streams, which stresses their ecosystems. As mentioned above, Green Roofs are great for water mitigation as they lessen the impacts of stormwater runoff. Vegetated Fairview Folkestone Roofing systems can retain around 60-100% of the rain water they receive which is amazing! In areas with combined sewer-stormwater systems, heavy storms can overload the wastewater system and cause it to flood. Flood damage is bad enough let alone when the flood water carries raw sewage and deposits it into local waterways. Thus, eco-roofs are an effective way to mitigate water. For homeowners, Green Roofs help prevent flooding and water damage by decreasing the total amount of runoff from rainfall and slow the rate of runoff from the roof. It has been found that they can retain up to 75% of rainwater, gradually releasing it back into the atmosphere via condensation and transpiration. Also, Eco-roofs are a financial benefit as they increase roof life span dramatically. Regarding disadvantages of vegetated roofs, a higher initial cost of $15-$20 per square foot is probably the main disadvantage. Depending on what kind of Green Roof it is, the maintenance costs could be higher, but some types of eco-Fairview Folkestone Roofing have little or no ongoing cost. Living roofs also place higher demands on the waterpFairview Folkestone Roofing system of the structure both because water is retained on the roof and due to the possibility of roots penetrating the waterproof membrane. It is true that installing adequate waterpFairview Folkestone Roofing systems and root barriers can increase the initial cost of the roof; however, due to the fact that this type of Fairview Folkestone Roofing protects the waterpFairview Folkestone Roofing membrane from the elements, particularly UV light, the life expectancy of the membranes is doubled or even tripled, leading to recovered initial cost differentials. So what about living roofs and Florida? Currently, the largest live roof is located in Pensacola Florida at the Escambia County One Stop Permitting Center. The roof is more of the intensive type, compartmentalized by plant species. Further to that, Green Roofs are making more and more of an appearance in Florida. In sum, eco-friendly roofs are not only aesthetically pleasing to look at but also provide huge benefits for homeowners and the environment. With these roof choices passing even hurricane wind stress tests, they are definitely providing property owners with a Fairview Folkestone Roofing choice worth considering!

Some Easy-To-Do Roof Repair and Maintenance Tips for Winter

As the fall starts getting colder and the days start getting shorter, it means that the winter is almost at your door. Winter brings a lot of house-related problems along with it, and Fairview Folkestone Roofing problems are among them. During the winter, homeowners may face various roof issues, including ice dams formation, condensation, and damage to the property. These problems are tough to cure in winter because of the weather conditions, but can be evaded if you take proper care of your roof in fall. Fall is the best time to prepare your house for winter, but that doesn't mean these issues would stop haunting you. So, even if you did all the roof repair and maintenance work before winter, but still facing issues, don't despair. You have to get these problems fixed immediately. In this post, we will discuss some really easy roof repair and maintenance tips that would help you to get through winter months without much trouble. Fall roof maintenance During fall, inspect your roof for any damage or deterioration, and if you find any, get them fixed immediately. In winter, you need to be even more vigilant and proactive. Check regularly for any signs of icicles build-up and ice dams – especially after a snowstorm or windstorm, etc. Make sure that your fascia and downspout are not clogged with debris, ice, snow, dead leaves, etc. Use a roof rake to eliminate excess snow buildups. Flashing and chimney repair If you see any leakage or droppings in your house, on the roof around the chimney area, that means the flashing of the chimney is leaking. This could damage the chimney as well as the roof. So, get your chimney and flashing properly inspected in the fall only, and if something is wrong, get it repaired. Your roof repair company should have the chimney service too, if not, hire a chimney repair company. If you plan to DIY the flashing repair task, pay proper attention to the temperature, so that the adhesive used in the repair do not freeze in cold weather. Shingles Repair The shingles that use some metal fasteners or are nailed down can be repaired or replaced at any point of the year. However, you need to pay extra attention so that the Fairview Folkestone Roofing material do not crack or break. If you know how about the properties of your Fairview Folkestone Roofing material and know how to repair it, go ahead, get the job done. But, if you have no idea about it, do not get on the roof and damage the roof even further. Call your roof repair contractor and let them repair it for you. Remember, you need an experienced roof repair contractor to work on your roof because an amateur contractor would be no better than you and could damage the roof just like you. Gutter repair Gutters are crucial, but most underestimated part of the roof, which plays a huge role in saving your roof from winter by keeping it dry and clear. Keep a regular check-up and cleaning schedule for gutters and if they damaged, get them replaced immediately. Gutters also save your fascia board and house walls from water damage and keep the walkways dry and clean. If your gutters are blocked, they won't remove roof water properly. Which means, there would be overflowing water all around your house, which could cause a lot of problems, including damage to the foundation of your house. As long as your gutters are clean and dry, they can be repaired or replaced (if damaged), even during winter, just as they can be repaired in summer. So, keep your gutters clear of any debris to maintain a good drainage system in your house, and save your roof. Attic repair If you are suddenly noticing any leaks in your house, it may be because of your attic. Your house produces a significant amount of heat every day in winter, which escapes through the roof of your house. With time, this process weakens the insulation of your attic, and when the snow starts to melt on your roof, it leads to leakage from the roof. It's your responsibility to check the insulation in your attic on the regular basis, and when you find a leak, know that it's time to re-do the insulation. If you put in enough time, money and investment to re-do your attic insulation into something sustainable, you would face much less of these leakage and other Fairview Folkestone Roofing problems. Tree maintenance Yes, trees are a vital part of our environment and look so beautiful when they are surrounding your house. However, if by chance, a huge tree is hanging above your house, it could be hazardous for your roof. You have to take action to make sure that no such risk is hovering over your house roof. Call tree service and take their help in solving the issue. If they think that the tree could be trimmed from over your house and would not cause any serious issue in future, get it trimmed. If it's really necessary to remove the tree to safeguard your family and house, then only get it removed. Having trees around your house is a good thing as they keep the air fresh. But at the same time, you need to be more careful to keep your roof clear of all the debris like branches and dead leaves, etc. Roof replacement If your roof is made of metal or wood and shingles, you can get it replaced at any point of the year, regardless of the season. If you have a flat roof, made of rubber, you have to wait till spring to get a replacement. This is particularly because of the adhesives used with flat roof material are mostly temperature dependent and could freeze and not work properly in winter. Call your roof repair service and take their advice on the matter. So, these were some easy tips on roof repair and maintenance in winter, to help you get through the season without many hitches. If you are facing more serious Fairview Folkestone Roofing problems, contact your roof repair service immediately. Do not wait for a right time.

A Property Managers Guide to Roof Cleaning

If you have been in the property management field for more than a few years the odds are pretty good that you have dealt with roof cleaning issues. Roof cleaning can be very costly, cleaning up after the roof cleaners can also be very costly. Repairing the damage that roof cleaners create never gets figured into the initial estimate because you are not expecting damage but it happens more often than not but if you are aware of the potential destruction ahead of time you can prevent it from occurring, limiting the cost and headaches and that is what property management is all about. There are many fungi that can settle on a roof that are both destructive to the roof and repulsive to look at. Moss, lichen, black algae (black mold), green mold/algae make up the bulk of matter and removal has become a necessity. Roofs need to be cleaned for a variety of reasons; to prevent destruction and early replacement, to control increased energy costs and to correct the devaluing of the property. Asphalt shingle, cedar shake and tile roofs are the most commonly affected roofs, each is affected differently. Asphalt roofs are destroyed more rapidly than the others, fungus can grow under shingles lifting them until they crack and fall off. The fungus tendrils or “roots” also dig through the reflective granules causing them to dislodge and fall off, this action results in the thinning of shingles taking years off the expected life of the shingle as they then curl and cup. Cedar roofs need to remain dry to last, when a cedar roof is covered with fungus, the fungus traps moisture in the wood which causes rotting, which invites wood feeding insects and that rapidly deteriorates the integrity of the wood. Tile roofs are most commonly found in the south and although fungus can't destroy tile like it does asphalt or wood, tiles are destroyed by having the weight roof cleaners walking on the roof, tile are fragile especially after baking in the sun for years, the damage isn't apparent at first but as the cracks wash out with rain water they will become dislodged and fall off. Other than destructive damage the fungus can cause, the home owner can expect an increase in energy bills. Fungus is generally dark colored and dark colors absorb sunlight which increases the heat in attics, crawl spaces and second or top floors causing the air conditioners to work overtime to cool those spaces, resulting in higher than normal energy bills. To top it off the majority of the roof cleaning products on the market require plants, bushes and any foliage around the home to be either covered or be constantly wet down because the toxicity in the cleaning solution will kill them and as careful as the roof cleaners may be there are always casualties within the foliage. With the above mentioned negative effects of roof fungus the worst to a property manager is the fact that a home or dwelling with an infected roof is an “eye-sore”, it makes a pretty house look ugly, it makes an expensive development look run down or unmaintained, it not only decreases the value of the infected home but the value of the neighbors home as well, these homes are treated like lepers and as more homes catch the infection a leper colony is formed. It's at this point the property management team usually steps in and demand notices are sent out demanding that the roofs be cleaned. Now you have irritated home owners being forced to spend money, potentially damage their home and a host of problems on the horizon. Two solutions come to mind; the first is if you have to have a roof cleaned then specify that the roof cleaners use a solution that will not harm the foliage or alter the look of the home and the second solution is called “preventative maintenance” by this I mean coating the roofs periodically with a solution that will not allow fungus to mature, no cleaning is necessary and the following rains wash off the fungus that was removed. Proper roof maintenance is by far the most cost effective way to keep the roofs clean. Monies can be budgeted for periodic roof treatments instead of shocking a home owners association with a massive budget breaking roof cleaning estimate. Maintenance spraying can be done from the gutters edge, this way avoiding workers need to be walking the roofs. Proper maintenance schedule will mean roofs never getting dirty again, never degrading the appearance of the community. 98% of the roof cleaning contractors are of “old school” knowledge and cleaning methods this includes the use of chlorine bleach as the cleaning chemical of choice, that alone is the cause of the foliage damage along with terrible fumes and odors and staining of painted surfaces. Bleach was not formulated to clean deep in the pores and crevices of Fairview Folkestone Roofing material, bleach is a topical cleaner. Cleaning a roof with bleach is the equivalent of running a lawnmower through and field of dandelions to wipe out the weed problem, it looks good initially but the problem grows right back. At Wash Safe we take roof cleaning seriously, we formulated and eco-safe roof cleaner called “Roof Wash” that will not harm plants (there is no need to even cover them), it has no chemical odors or fumes (in fact it has a clean citrus scent), it will not harm the roof in any way and keeps roofs clean twice as long as bleach because it was designed to clean deep in every pore and crevice this way the complete spore and fungus rooting system is being removed. The next time your management firm is faced with a roof cleaning project specify that the roof cleaning contractors use Wash Safes Roof Wash and have them design a maintenance schedule for periodic roof coatings and your roof cleaning problems will be history. Preventative maintenance and cleaning with eco-safe Roof Wash, by Wash Safe is the key to a clean, worry free future.

Metal Fairview Folkestone Roofing – Get The Facts!

If you are thinking about getting a new Fairview Folkestone Roofing system installed, you might want to look into getting a metal roof instead of other options like shingles. Metal Fairview Folkestone Roofing has become increasingly popular over the past decade, as more and more people have made the switch. There are multiple reasons why a person would choose a metal system over the other types of Fairview Folkestone Roofing. Not only are they fairly easy to install, they are also extremely durable. When choosing a Fairview Folkestone Roofing material, it is important to keep in mind that the quality of your material matters. When compared to other forms of Fairview Folkestone Roofing systems, a roof made of metal is the perfect mix of affordability and durability. Shingles were a longstanding staple in the Fairview Folkestone Roofing industry for years. It is very likely that one of the houses that you grew up in had a shingled roof. But as time has gone by, consumers have begun looking for other types of materials to use. The problem with shingles is that they do not last for more than twenty years. Considering how expensive and involved installing a Fairview Folkestone Roofing system can be, you want to make sure that you do not have to do the same project over again within a decade or two. Shingles begin to crack and the quality degrades over time, meaning that you will most likely have to do some minor repairs along the way as well. And because each shingle must be placed by hand, the installation process can be very tedious and time consuming. In contrast, a metal roof takes very little time to install. This is because it comes in panels that you can easily slide into place and secure. Another bonus to installing metal Fairview Folkestone Roofing is that, in a lot of places, you will be able to get a better deal on insurance. A large number of insurance companies will offer homeowners a sizable discount on their homeowner's insurance premium if they choose to install a roof made of metal over one made of shingles or tiles. This is because metal is much more durable than the other forms of Fairview Folkestone Roofing materials. Metal Fairview Folkestone Roofing is made up of steel panels that have been coated with specialty rust-proof paint. Both strong and flexible, a they can easily last for over fifty years. And though it may seem like they are a fairly recent trend, metal roofs have actually been around for a long time. For centuries, people have utilized roofs made of metal for the long life expectancy and durability that they offer.
