Bossier Emergency Roofing Service

Some of the smallest creatures seem to cause some of the most damage for roofs. Raccoons, squirrels, woodpeckers, and other various wildlife can build nests or chew holes inside of your roof or your home’s siding.

So, if you notice any animal activity in or around your roof, you should check your roof for damage before the animals cause further damage to your roofing materials.

Did you know that unmaintained gutter systems can actually cause extensive damage to your roof?

Roof leaks can occur when your gutters are clogged and then water freezes inside of them.

When ice starts accumulating on your roof, this can cause problems. If thawed ice seeps under any loose shingles, then you are likely to experience a roof leak. During cold or severe weather, you’ll need to check the inside of your home or attic for evidence of ice dams.

Any major structures, like trees, that are near your home or commercial building pose a threat during an adverse weather event, such as a storm. Older limbs may fall on your roofing, tear away the shingles and damage the underlying structure of your roof.

If a large tree or tree branch falls on your roof, it can punch a hole in the roofing materials that provide leak protection for your home or building.

If your existing roof is reaching the end of its natural service life, then a strong wind gust can be extremely damaging. Older roofs are more prone to roof leaks, especially when shingles are torn or when the underside of the roof is exposed to severe or adverse elements.

If the roof damage is confined to a smaller area, then you may be able to put in shingle replacements. However, if there’s more damage or if the roof damage is widespread and your roof is reaching the end of its natural service life, then you may need to consider a total roof replacement.
