Woodbridge, VA is a spectacular area in Prince William County great for shopping, living and recreation. It is home to the Potomac Mills Mall, the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Leesylvania State Park. The area features diverse neighborhoods with many types of architecture. Home owners in this region are challenged by the changing weather patterns throughout the seasons that take a toll on their homes. The roof is one of the first parts of a house to take an impact.
No matter what type of roof you have, if it starts to leak you have trouble on your hands. Roofers in Woodbridge report that most of the time the problem starts with a flashing failure where there are interruptions in the moisture barrier that covers the roof. The flashing is intended to seal areas in the roof where there are joints or the roofing materials meet another structure such as a chimney or skylight. Improperly installed or damaged, it allows water to seep under the protective membrane and leak into the attic. Issues with flashing can be remedied with relatively simple roof repairs.
The other source of roof leaks in this part of Northern Virginia is the wind. If the adhesives under the shingles and sealing compounds used to install the flashing did not cure properly before the weather got cold, wet or dusty nothing will stay intact in a strong wind. After a storm you will find shingles lying on the ground beside your house. Even if one shingle is blown off the roof the rest of them are affected in a chain reaction. This is the start of a serious roof leak if you don’t have roof repairs done immediately.
Regardless of how a leak gets started, the important step to take is having a roofer fix it before too much water gets through into the attic. Sitting water inside a house causes rot, mildew and black mold. We suggest you call us the moment you suspect a leak. It’s also a good idea to have your roof inspected regularly as a preventative measure. Ignoring problems will eventually lead to the expense of a complete roof replacement.
