A FREE INSPECTION COULD PUT $$$ IN YOUR POCKET!!!
As the temperature begins to climb this week, most people will be kicking their a/c on to keep cool which means higher energy costs with a budget already being squeezed from all directions. One thing that could be adding unnecessary cost that you may not even think about is improper ventilation of your roof.
Give me a call and I will do a free inspection to see if you're roof is at peak efficiency. If it isn't the cost to correct it is probably more affordable than you think and will definitely save you money in the long run. Along with a noticeable affect on cooling costs here are a few other problems that can arise from poor ventilation:
1.Mold & Mildew: A humid environment is the
perfect place for mold or mildew to form. Mold
can ruin stored items in the attic and cause
health problems.
2. Rust: Rust can begin to form on metal
components like nails or other critical fasteners.
Overtime it can rust the heads off of nails or
cause plumbing or venting straps to fail.
3. Sagging or Spongy Decking: When excessive
moisture begins seep into the roof decking it can
begin to dissolve the adhesives which hold them
together and cause it to warp, sag between
rafters or feel spongy when walked on. This can
become a danger for anyone on the roof.
4. Roofing System Deterioration: Not only can
excessive heat and moisture ruin roof decking, it
can also reduce the life of the underlayment and
shingles themselves. Cracking shingles or
premature loss of granules can be signs of
improper roof ventilation.
5. Air Conditioner Replacement & Expenses: As
heat builds in the attic, air conditioners must
work extra hard to keep the air inside the home
cool. This undue stress on the unit can reduce its life and increase operating costs.
