Emergency roofing repairs; when do they become necessary and what precautions can I take to prevent them in the future?
An emergency repair can become a necessary action when your roof has been damaged. Only when the damage to your roof requires a repair that needs to be fixed as soon as possible is when an emergency roofer is required. The slightest sign of damage to your roof could require an emergency roof repair and should be treated as an emergency. If you neglect these signs, any damage could quickly worsen and cost more to repair in the end.
Often, we assess what requires an emergency repair ourselves and too often we get this wrong. If a single loose tile on your roof becomes damaged, the possibility of it requiring an emergency repair is very real as it can be extremely dangerous. If your roof is not sealed, it is not fully protected against every day weather conditions.
There will be water leakages, and any strong winds could tear more loose tiles from your roof, possibly harming a passerby. Should you experience any problems with your roof, call a professional emergency roofer as soon as possible. Luckily, there are a few precautions you can put in place to maximise the protection of your roof in its constant battle against every day weather conditions and protect it from ever needing an emergency roof repair. The following actions are necessary to protect your property from a costly emergency roof repair in the future.
- Check your roof. Look for any signs of damage that could require an emergency repair such as loose or missing tiles.
- Check your chimney. All of the surrounding pointing should be intact with no holes or cracks.
- Check your gutters. Neglected gutters are responsible for many of our emergency callouts. Often, these calls are being made due to gutters being faulty or blocked. You should clean and check your gutter at least once a year to avoid any blockages. If they are blocked, they could overflow and will cause your walls to dampen.
- Get rid of any loose or unwanted TV and radio aerials. Continue reading “Emergency Roof Repairs”
