The Best Way to Deal with a Dead Roof

Do you live in fear of the next rainstorm? Neither fear or wishful thinking are helpful when you’re dealing with a dead roof. Unfortunately, ignoring the problem won’t make it go away. In fact, your roof may appear just fine to the untrained eye. Yet with each rainstorm more and more water seepage can work their way into your roof, destroying its insulation, damaging the roof structure and injuring your home’s foundational structure and/or interior. If repetitive roof repairs have left you wondering what the original roof even looked like, it may be time to face facts. At a certain point, trying to eke out “just one more year” from a dead roof usually ends up costing more, as it puts other aspects of your home in danger as well. But what is the best way to deal with a dead roof?

Get honest with yourself about your roof. Crunch a few numbers. Write down the cost of a new roof, then divide that number by expected roof life - typically between 15 and 25 years, depending upon the roofing material. Next, write down the annual costs of roof repairs, and add that number to the annual cost of interior leak-related repairs, as well as the replacement costs of damaged possessions. The result may be surprising.

Your Leaky Roof Experts!

Rainstorms come with the territory in summer, and If your roof has sustained any damage, there’s a pretty good chance you are about to find out. That’s the bad news. The good news?  Discovering previously undiagnosed roof damage before it has a chance to get worse and affect other structural systems in your home is important. But now that you’re standing in the middle of a puddle, staring up at the ceiling, what do you do?

MANAGE THE LEAK

1. Find something to catch the leak, like a bucket or an empty wastebasket.
2. Check for a running water source or plumbing in the house that may be turned off.
3. Survey the area for any places the water may come into direct contact with an electrical source, and either block its access to it or safely shut off the power at the source.

2) S.O.S.
