Roof Repair, Roof Replacement, Roof Ventilation
Fairfax City, VA the county seat for Fairfax County is the setting for several popular festivals, including the annual Chocolate Lovers Festival around the time of Valentine’s Day. It is pleasantly warm in the summer, but cannot escape frigid conditions in the winter. It may come as a surprise, but roofing companies get calls from home owners in Fairfax during the winter reporting roof leaks.
You may wonder how it’s possible to need roof repair for water damage in the dead of winter. Have you ever noticed icicles hanging over the edge of a roof and thought how pretty they looked? This is a sure sign that you are having problems and are about to have water leaking into the attic. If your attic is not ventilated well enough and it is a lot warmer than the outside air temperature any snow sitting on the roof begins to melt and run down the slope.
The icicles that form are from the melt water as it drips over the edge of the roof. Over a number of days a ridge of ice forms along the roof’s edge. Eventually the water running down the slope cannot get past the ice dam and backs up under the shingles. It finds a seams and nail holes where it can enter the attic. Now you have a roof leak problem. In freezing weather you will actually find damp spots in your ceilings and walls. `
The water that is sitting under the shingles freezes overnight and expands, forcing the shingles to pop off the roof nails. This allows even more water to leak through the roof. Fairfax City roofing companies can do emergency roof repairs in any season. We will assess the damage and advise you on how best to remedy the problem so it does not happen again. You will need to consider improving your attic ventilation and insulation, but the first action to take is keeping your roof clear of snow.
We take care of all types of roof repairs and roof replacement in any season. Put it on your “to do” list to have your roof inspected regularly to prevent emergency situations
