Remember the roof overhang also known as eaves. Roof overhang leaks frequently remain undetected because the damage happens outside the house.
The “overhang” or “eaves” are the edge of the roof that overhangs the face of an outside wall.
Don’t just look at the top of the roof when inspecting for roof damage.
When the overhang soffit is rotten or hanging you have a roof leak. You must repair the leak before repairing the soffit.
Constantly check the soffit around the house for water stains.
Improper installation is a common cause of an overhang leak.
Remember to inspect the under soffit around the house because an overhang leak will not be visible inside the house. Avoid rotten soffit and bird nests by repairing leaks early.
A roof leak can cause serious damage inside and outside your house which is why it is important to learn how to identify roof damage and repair as soon as possible.
Repair leaks early and avoid big repairs having to replace rotten plywood or soffit.
If you spot any water stains on the under soffit give us a call to schedule an estimate.
