Clogged Gutters And Downspouts Debris reacts with water to form a sludge in gutters that can reduce the life of your gutters by weighting them down and attacking the metal coating. Clogged gutters are fire hazards. Embers from wild-fires can travel up to a mile & a half away. Most new homes must be built with gutter protection to keep out leaves & debris. The standing water in gutters that do not drain well can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Clogged gutters cause water to overflow, often penetrating siding and foundation.

Deteriorated Pipe BootsA vent pipe is a unique kind of material use as base for shingles to shed water. It is a

type of flashing that comes in a dome shaped boot that snugly fit the plastic vent pipe to keep the roofing free from water or snow clogging. When it gets damaged or weakened,

it often results in roof leakage that is also known as seepage.

Deteriorated ShinglesShingles are the comprehensive way of supporting the roof system in an

appealing way. The dead and decayed shingles may ultimately lead to roof leakage, which may actually damage the entire foundation of the roofing

system. The damaged shingles always results in mold, rot or leakage structural damage that could be repaired by patching, renovating the

deteriorated part of the roof building.

damaged fascia often results in rotting of the roofing system, which may give way to undue leakage or seepage of the room ceiling. This type of situation

often creates mold and leave the roofing structure weak and ineffective.
