Mess In Attic After New Roof

I will definitely have to make sure that i am not there when i get a new roof.

Mess in attic after new roof.

Our house is starting to get really bad water damage because of it. This is definitely good advice for when i have my roof replaced. The one that i have is starting to leak an awful lot. The tear off is the very first thing they do so have the plastic down before they arrive.

Both shingles and sawdust can fuel attic fires turning a small flame into a devastating house fire. That you put down plastic in your attic before they do the tear off. You can use thin stuff probably the 1 mil sheeting they have at home depot etc. It s certainly possible that your attic ductwork is leaky and that the return ductwork in the attic is sucking in asphalt dust.

I advised them to consolidate as much as possible and cover everything well. After the first day they 39 d done one side of the house and fortunately the roofers handed me a roll of such. I have been thinking of getting a new roof lately. A quick scan of your roof from the ground may also yield some information as well.

You should get a home performance contractor to perform a duct blaster test to test the tightness of your ductwork. Contractors should clean this debris up before leaving the site but as you probably know they oftentimes leave a mess behind for the homeowner to handle. In other words skylights stack lines chimneys and valleys are the most common places to see a leak if the tiles themselves are in good shape. The majority of roof leaks especially on new roofs take place around protrusions in the roof.

It s common for debris to land in the attic or on the ground around your home. Flashings in particular are one place that leak very often if they aren t replaced with new flashings installed the right way they ll keep on leaking well after your new roof is installed. It is normal on a total resheet or when plywood is replaced for debris to drop into the attic. I find that we are quoting more roofs after taking a hiatus for a few years.

Found myself in an attic today trying to prepare the customer for the huge mess left after stripping off their roof. Properly tearing off a roof will reveal any water damage that has happened in the past and allow for a proper roof deck inspection. Bottom layer is cedar shakes so you know it s going to be crappy.
