Repairing or replacing your roof could be the single most important home improvement decision you make. It is imperative to recognize the “Danger Signs” and be pro-active in contacting Bachman’s to ensure your home will be safe and efficient. Below we have listed common roof ailments to help you identify possible problems:

ALGAE: Environmental pollutants, vegetation, fungus or algae growth may be the cause of dark or dirty areas on your roof. This is the result of granule loss on aged shingles.

CURLING: Shingles that have possibly exceeded their life-span may: crack, curl or simply fall off.

DECAYING: Leaking and inadequate shingle underlayment or deteriorated flashing, may result in consistent leaks after heavy rain.

PEELING: Poor attic ventilation may cause shingle sheathing and siding decay.

POOR VENTILATION: Poor attic ventilation may cause shingle sheathing and siding decay.

STAINED WALL: Faulty or inadequate shingle underlayment may allow leakage or inadequate ventilation, which may result in stains on interior walls and ceilings and/or mildew and mold growth.

WINDRIVEN: Inflated energy costs may be the result of insufficient attic ventilation, causing heating and cooling systems to run excessively.
