As the rain and the snow of winter season comes closer most people have to seriously start thinking about their roof.The roof is a part of your house that people really can’t do without.But it really is overlooked by so many people.The time that people do eventually take notice is when it finally needs repairs or has to be replaced.But with winter approaching most people just won’t be able to wait for that.So here are a couple of ways you can use to check to find out if yuo have a leak in your roof.
The first thing you have to be able to know is whether the spot was caused by condensation or a leak. We get calls all the time for my Poway roofing company for people who think they have a leak.But the moment we do get out there what we see is that it was a condensation stain instead of a leak.The simple way to tell on whether or not it is condensation is condensation doesn’t have a design.Now when it really is a leak it will create a circular shape.So if the spot you see has a circular shape you know you have a leak.
The next thing you want to do is check weak spots on the roof.Places that are known weak spots are areas like the chimney where it leaks a lot there. In our Vista roofing service we always check those areas because it is so common that it leaks there.It is a quick fix by sealing that area and making sure there arent’ any openings.
Finally you are going to want to look for all the spots penetrated by a nail.Quite often when the nailing of the roof is done there will be spots that aren’t sealed well. This is the cause of leaks that we find in my Encinitas roofing service.This is another quick fix when you find the spot you can just seal it up.
So there you have the ways you can make sure you don’t have a leak this coming winter.
