Sterling, VA Roofers
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement, Roof Ventilation
Sterling, VA is a suburb of Washington, D.C. and includes a section of the Dulles International Airport. It consists of several residential neighborhoods and parks, such as the 357-acre Claude Moore Park. Like everywhere else in Northern Virginia, residents here must give extra attention to the condition of the roof over their heads due to the harsh weather that happens throughout the seasons.
Trying to find a leak in a roof can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. You might never guess where a leak actually originates from the exit point the drip takes through one of the ceilings inside your house. Even if you climb around in your attic and find the spot where water appears to be entering through the roof, you could be off by several feet. A broken or damaged shingle could be quite far away, and the water that is seeping beneath it has found a seam to travel across before giving way to gravity.
If your roof is more than 10 years old the leak could be coming from any one of many sources, or several at once. Exposure to the elements and UV rays leaches the lubricants from the roofing materials that keep them supple. As they become brittle they are more apt to crack and break. No matter how good your shingles were when they were first installed, eventually they will have to be replaced.
As a roofing contractor in Sterling, we can do roof repairs to solve any type of leak that develops in your shingles or flashing. Sometimes we discover the problem is not a leak at all. It is caused by poor ventilation in the attic leading to excess humidity. This can accumulate with enough volume to affect the rest of the house.
We recommend a thorough inspection of your roof at least once a year. Call us to assess the situation if there has been a strong windstorm. You may have a few shingles missing or broken. It is better to take care of small problems before they escalate to the point of needing a roof replacement
