Home-Repair: Roof and Gutter Repairs / Maintenance
Water Stains on the Ceiling and In the Attic
If you live in South Florida, every day seems like a rainy day and the afternoon storms are quite strong. If you are noticing stains on your ceilings or leaks in your attic, it may be a result of broken or packed gutters or cracks in your roof or flashing.
Gutter Maintenance
Inspect and clean your gutters and make sure they are free of debris. Also, make sure your gutter connections are sound and the downspouts are clear.
Roof Tiles Cracked / Discolored or Broken Shingles
If you notice your roofing tiles are broken, cracked or missing, it is a sign that they need to be replaced. Walking on your roof, if you are not careful, can also cause tiles to crack and damage your roof.
Use a Camera From the Ground to Inspect Your Roof
To check your roof – without using a ladder and walking on your roof, zoom in with a camera to inspect from the ground. Gutter cleaning and repairs require that you use a ladder. If you are ladder-shy contact Leading Edge Homes, Inc. and we will assist you with this project.
