SUMMARY:
BTB Construction, a home services provider in the Lynchburg, Virginia area, reminds local homeowners and commercial property managers that an increase in hurricanes, thunderstorms, and other types of severe weather makes it even more important to have the roofs of those structures inspected for damage. Recent heavy rains and wind from the remnants of Hurricane Ida in early September may have damaged roofs in the Lynchburg area in ways that are not apparent aside from a professional inspection. Leaving damage unattended can easily lead to larger issues such as leaking, which exponentially increases repair costs.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Owners and managers of properties both residential and commercial in the Lynchburg, Virginia region can consult BTB Construction if they are concerned about potential damage to roofing materials and structural elements as a result of recent severe weather events. Strong winds and heavy rains often negatively impact roofs that are older or poorly maintained, opening the possibility for leaking when the next storm hits.
If there are visual indications of damage, such as missing shingles, broken ridge vents, damaged siding, or other irregularities, it is important to get a professional inspection conducted quickly. Even more critical are obvious signs of leaking inside the structure. Water leakage not only causes damage to furniture, flooring, ceilings, and other elements inside the building, but also further weakens the roof structure the longer it is left unattended.
With the potential for additional storms moving through the area in the fall and the expectation of snowstorms and ice storms throughout the winter months, now is the ideal time to have roofs inspected for damage caused by past storms. Even if no damage is visible from the ground to the untrained eye, a professional inspection may uncover problem spots that require repair or replacement of damaged roofing materials in order to keep the roof functioning properly.
Fall is also a good time to schedule roof replacement if your roof is nearing the end of its estimated life span. Shingles that are outside their intended lifetime of reliability will not adequately protect the structure during severe weather, and it is far preferable to replace a roof in favorable conditions than to deal with the aftermath of damage resulting from a powerful storm wreaking havoc on compromised roofing materials.
BTB Construction is the ideal resource for homeowners and business owners in the region who want to make sure that their roofing is maintained well and is able to protect them, their families, or their employees and guests from the next major storm. In addition to expert, safe roofing repair and replacement, BTB Construction also provides service for siding, windows, gutters, and other exterior elements. If these elements of your structure have been damaged by the recent tropical storm, other weather events, or impacts from other sources, get in touch with the front office at BTB Construction at 434-525-3100 to schedule a visit from an expert and find out how you can get the problem resolved efficiently, affordably, and reliably as soon as possible.
