Residents of Loring Dunn, Virginia know that protecting their home from Mother Nature is one of the best ways to protect their investment for decades to come. And because your roof is the umbrella that serves to keep your home cozy and dry, preventing roof leaks is the number one priority when it comes to home maintenance and repairs. Preventing roof leaks before they start can be a challenge, but by using these 5 tips for preventing roof leaks, you can be sure you’ll never have to call Roofer911 for roof repair.


1. Removing Debris - By keeping your roof free and clear from tree limbs, leafs debris and broken branches can ensure your roof stays healthy and in good shape for years to come. Cut any overhanging trees as these can sway and move in the wind, wearing holes in your shingles, causing roof leaks over time. Clean behind chimneys and skylights, around vents and plumbing pipes and in roof valleys to prevent future roof leaks.


2. Gutter Upkeep - If your home has gutters, keeping them well maintained can ensure your roof doesn’t leak. Preventing gutters from clogging up with leaf debris is just the start. Make certain the gutters have the proper pitch and slope to be sure water runs to the downspouts and not into your home. Clogged or faulty gutter systems are the cause of over 10 percent of roof leaks. If you suspect your gutters may be the cause of your roof leak, call Roofer911 right now at (703) 475-2446 for a no obligation roof inspection and free estimate.


3. Exterior Walls - Preventing roof leaks also involves inspecting and making any repairs as necessary on the siding on your home. After all, your siding is really an extension of your roofing system in that it is an exterior shell that prevents the outdoor elements from entering the home. And without that protective shell, your home can be susceptible to many other maintenance problems, including roof leaks. Be sure to check your siding biannually for any split, missing or loose pieces of siding to make sure your home is safe from future leaks. If you detect any siding damages or disrepairs, give Roofer911 a call at (703) 475-2446 for free inspection and estimate for repairing your siding in Dunn Loring.


4. Windows and Doors - Any penetration that creates an opening into your home is an area that must be double checked each year to prevent damages from water intrusion. Windows and doors should be inspected twice a year for yellowing caulk, cracks, fogging glass and other discolorations. If you spot any of these leak symptoms on your doors or windows, be sure to have them inspected and repaired immediately.


5. Biannual Inspections - Inspections play an important role in preventing leaks. Whether you inspect your home yourself or your call Roofer911 at (703) 475-2446 for a free inspection, each spring and fall before the wet weather seasons begin in Dunn Loring, VA. checking your roof for missing shingles, loose granules and corroded flashing will ensure your roof is repaired before it is allowed to deteriorate even further. Walls, doors, windows and siding are just the beginning. Be sure to check your foundation, crawlspaces and other structural areas of your home have to keep your Dunn Loring Virginia home in tip top shape and looking good for decades to come.

After changing a damage ridge vent yesterday, I emailed Steve to get an estimate to change all the ridge vents. His reponse was prompt and had people out replacing the ridges within 3 hours. The workers were efficient and did an excellant job. Great service on a Saturday. Thanks.

Steve was very helpful. I called late in the evening after a recent storm. He was able to coordinate my roof repair the next morning to minimize water damage. It was handled while I was at work. His follow-up and professionalism was outstanding. Thanks for your help!

Description: We have a leak coming into our home from what appears to be the top of our bump-out that is located on the side of our house (we are an end-unit townhouse). There is a window above the bumpout window. We have only seen signs of water in the interior ceiling near the top of our bumpout, and running down the wall adjacent to the bumpout.
