Quality Roof Repair in Kamloops and Surrounding Areas

What Is a Roofing Emergency?
 
When you have a roofing emergency, it is best to call professionals like us as soon as possible. Doing so can be the difference between simple roof repairs and an expensive replacement. Some common roofing emergencies are:
 

• Impact on the roof: During a storm, objects such as trees can fall on your roof. This can result in punctures that can expose parts of your roof.
   

• Torn shingles: Strong winds can sometimes tear off shingles, especially if they're already old and damaged. It can expose the roof deck, which can result in water damage.
   

• Heavy snow and ice: While some snow on the roof is normal, abnormally heavy snow is a problem. It can settle underneath the surface and melt, causing extensive moisture damage.
   

• Sagging: A sagging roof is one of the most critical roofing emergencies, and it can lead to a collapse of the structure. Water damage, age and rotting wood are some common causes.
   

• Clogged gutters: Your gutters are responsible for directing water away from your roof. Obstructed gutters can cause moisture damage to your roof.
   

• Leaks: When your roof shows signs of a leak, it is best to attend to the problem immediately because it can become more extensive.

Understanding How Extreme Weather Can Impact Your Roof

 

Prepare for the elements by recognizing the threats that different weather conditions pose to your roof. Tailor your maintenance and preparation strategies based on these considerations.

 

• Heat and sun damage:
  In summer, relentless sun can accelerate roofing material deterioration. UV rays may lead to cracks, warping, and fading, compromising aesthetics and protection. Extreme heat can cause materials to expand/contract, leading to structural issues.
   

• Heavy rain and storms:
  Water, a roof's insidious foe, can exploit weaknesses during heavy rains, causing water damage and leaks. Storms often bring strong winds that turn debris into projectiles, potentially causing significant roof damage.
   

• Snow and ice:
  Winter wonderlands bring concerns. Accumulated snow's weight strains the roof's structure, and ice dams block drainage, risking water damage. The freeze-thaw cycle can exacerbate existing roof issues.
   

• High winds:
  Destructive winds can lift or remove shingles, expose underlayment, and cause structural damage. Debris post-windstorm accumulation can block gutters and downspouts, compromising the roof's integrity.

  Inspect for signs of blistering, cracking, or warping due to heat.

  Clear fall leaves from gutters for proper drainage during winter.
