A roof is always one of the most important parts of the building. It’s invented to shelter from weather conditions such as rain, hail, snow and the sun.

Rainy weather can result in significant amounts of damage to the exterior of your residence bringing about unforeseen interior damage and mould. Moisture can cause rot and damage to your fascia – a frieze running horizontally and situated vertically under a roof edge which forms a front board along your roof line.

If you notice an issue, you need to contact a roofing contractor immediately. The finished surface below the fascia and rafters is called the soffit. Vented soffit provide air circulation for your house. It helps regulate the temperature in your loft and through the rest of your home making it a comfortable place to live. The soffit can have visible cracks, holes and signs of rot. This might be not only unsightly, but primarily it can be an easy entrance for water or insects and small animals. Flashings are elements used to seal roof system edges, perimeters, penetrations, walls, drains, and any other area where the actual roof covering is interrupted or terminated. The primary function of flashing is to help seal any voids in the roof system where water may enter making these prime areas for leak causes if not checked regularly.

Weather and oxidization can cause damage to flashings but it is possible that flashing can simply come loose. Other common problem is when a gutter and downspout get so backed up with debris they become useless. The excess weight of leaves, twigs, and standing water can cause them to sag and pull away from the fascia. Also, poorly maintained gutters and downspouts can cause water find its way to your basement. Sometimes shingles can become discolorated or curled or your roof can have hail damage, leaks or other impairments.
