Brambleton, VA was once a Virginia plantation but it is now an upscale community at the northern end of the state in Loudon County. It features beautiful homes and is conveniently located near the Washington Dulles International Airport. It is an ideal place to live especially if you are a professional working in the nation’s capital. You must also be prepared to do the maintenance on your home that is required to protect it from the weather conditions that can be harsh at times, especially on your roofing shingles.
It would be a lot easier on your roof if it had no seams, valleys or objects penetrating the shingles. It is these features on the top of your home that cause you to call roofing contractors for help to stop roof leaks with small roof repairs. Anywhere there is an interruption in the coverage by the shingles is a potential risk for water to get under the roof deck and into the attic.
Valleys are low places in the roof where the slopes on the roof meet and join at a seam. The entire length of the seams is a high risk zone for leakage. Metal flashing and roof sealant is used to cover these sections of the roof. After much exposure to UV rays and the elements, the sealant can shrink away from the shingles and allow the flashing to buckle and twist. Rainwater running down the roof slopes will naturally find its way in the gap and pour right through into the attic.
A certain amount of water will be soaked up by the insulation and framework in the attic, but the rest will work its way down into the ceilings and walls. You may not notice it at first, especially if the rain is light. Get bombarded with a couple of heavy storms and you will be running for buckets to save your furniture and flooring. When you see this much rain coming in, it is a disaster waiting to happen. Immediate roof repair is in order; otherwise you will soon end up with your ceiling on the floor. We are the Brambleton roofing company you can call any time of the night or day for stop gap measures before the inside of your home is destroyed and you need a total roof replacement.
