Preventing Water Damage this Spring

According to US Climate Data reports, the state of Massachusetts receives on average 4.29 inches of rain in the month of March and 3.74 inches in April; the Eastern part of the state consistently receives above average amounts. At the moment, we’re in the thick of the rainy season, so it’s time to consider replacing your roof.

Every year, there are always homes in the Eastern part of Massachusetts that fall victim to the spring rain. The biggest cause for water damage inside a home is a leaky roof.

How Does a Roof Get Damaged?

Harsh New England weather is the culprit of your roof’s wear and tear. Branches from nearby trees can break off during winter storms or under extremely windy conditions. Shingles are prone to coming loose if they were not installed properly to begin with. Old shingles will generally rot or peel away from the roof, causing cracks into which water can easily seep and damage the interior of your home.

When to Call a Roofing Contractor

Aside from seeing loose or missing roof shingles, there are signs you can look for inside your home that can tell you when it’s time to opt for a new roof. Be sure to check for discolored or yellowed plasterboard or drywall, cracked or chipped paint and peeling wallpaper.
