What We Fix Most in Blue Bell
When the storms bring wind and heavy rain through southeast PA that means a lot of calls for roof repair in Blue Bell and the surrounding area. Shingles get lifted along the edges and in some cases blown off entirely. Then once a few are missing, it’s only easier for more to get taken the next time. You’ve also got the winter when snow and ice sit there and work their way into spots that were already weak.
Likewise, a lot of Blue Bell homes have mature trees on the property that are great for shade but also mean falling branches and leaves that pile up in your valleys and gutters to affect your drainage.
The other spot we see all the time is the flashing around chimneys and vents. That metal wears out after enough years or somebody before us just covered it in caulk, and when that caulk cracks the water runs right down into the attic.
Signs You Need a Roof Repair
Some problems are easy to spot and some aren’t, but you’ll want to give us a call if you notice any of these:
- Shingles missing or lifted
- Water spots on your ceiling
- Leaks around the chimney area
- Shingle granules in your gutters
- Cracked vent boots
- Sagging along your roofline
It’s important to note that the stain on your ceiling isn’t always right under the leak. That’s because water can run along the roof boards before it drips through. Our crew finds where it’s really coming in so the fix holds up and you’re not calling about the same spot next spring.
Repair or Replace
If your roof is still in decent shape overall then a repair is what we’re going to recommend because there’s no reason to pay for a whole new roof when you don’t need one. But once a roof gets to be 20 or 25 years old with shingles curling all over and leaks popping up in different places, putting more money into patches doesn’t make much sense anymore.
We’ll take pictures of everything we find and go over it with you so you can see it for yourself. If it does turn out to be time for a new one you can read about how we handle it on our roof replacement page.
Storm Damage and Insurance
After a big storm in Blue Bell it’s hard to tell from the ground if your roof took a hit. Call your insurance company first to find out what’s covered and then get in touch with us so we can come out and take a look. We’ll document the damage with photos for your adjuster so they have what they need.
Gutters and Your Roof
A lot of the leaks we track down in Blue Bell end up having more to do with the gutters than the shingles. When gutters fill up with leaves from all the trees around town the water has nowhere to go, so it backs up under the edge of the roof and starts rotting the boards and the trim along the eaves. In the winter that same water freezes right at the edge and pushes even more under the shingles.
If we find that your gutters are part of the problem we’ll let you know when we’re out for the repair. Our crew can install new seamless gutters and downspouts that move the water off your roof and away from the house, so the fix we make on the roof isn’t undone by the next big rain.
