Water Busters

If your ceiling is falling apart, the first thing to do is have a professional inspect it for any water damage. Humidity can cause the wood in your ceiling to soften and loosen the nails that hold your roof together, which can ultimately cause the frame of your home to shift.

To decrease the chances of roof damage, trim away low-hanging branches that can rub against shingles and damage them.

The metal strips installed on roofs around chimneys, vents, and skylights are known as flashing. The purpose of flashing is to prevent water seepage and to provide a drainage passageway between the joints of the roof and the walls.
