Complete Roofing System
Your roof is made up of more than just its shingles. Your roof is an entire system that includes the ventilation the attic space it sits on as well as the insulation in your home. Together, these components work to create a healthy roof, allowing the ventilation of heat and humidity while also preventing the transfer of cold or heat into the rooms of your home. Improperly ventilated roofs can lead to trapped moisture, mold or mildew buildup, excessive energy bills, and premature wear on the roof itself.
VENTILATION
Even with the best shingles money can buy, they’re only as good as your attic’s ventilation system. A properly ventilated attic will not only save your power bills, but it will increase the longevity of your roof. Inadequate ventilation systems are the most common reason for premature wear on your roof. At J. Carnes & Son, we understand that your roof and attic work together as a complete system, including shingles, ventilation, and insulation. If one of these is installed improperly or not working, the whole system can fail.
Properly ventilated attics and roofing remove heat and moisture from your attic, which is important to keep your home healthy and energy efficient. When air from your attic isn’t ventilated properly, it can trap moisture, resulting in premature roof wear and the need for replacement much earlier than expected. It can also lead to excessive amounts of trapped heat. which will prematurely crack and wears roofing materials, leading to roof repairs and replacement.
common ventilation problems
Ice dams are the result of heat trapped in your attic. Trapped heat warms the roof’s decking and causes snow to melt from the bottom. Melting typically begins at the ridge of your roof, resulting in water running down into gutters and eaves. As the water spills into cold gutters, it re-freezes, building a thickening layer of ice that eventually causes water to back up under your roofing system or behind fascia boards. Once built up enough, the water melts again and runs behind the fascia board, soaking walls and ceilings, causing further damage.
Trapped moisture can lead to many problems in your attic, including mold and mildew. Over time, untreated mold and mildew can lead to dry rot or harmful health problems for those living in your home. Proper ventilation is critical to allow trapped moisture to escape your attic, especially during summer months.
One of the biggest expenses when it comes to an improperly ventilated attic is high energy costs, especially in summer months. Hot air without an escape route will build up, transferring heat back into your home. The transferred heat from your attic leads to your HVAC unit working overtime to compensate, reducing its efficiency and causing undue wear and tear on its components.
CHIMNEY FLASHING
Nothing beats a wood fire during cold winter months, but chimneys can often be an entry point for leaks in your roof. Flashing that has pulled away from the chimney or that’s improperly installed can result in water entering your roof, leading to roof deterioration and rot. Standard with each roof we install, J. Carnes & Son will inspect chimney flashing, repairing and installing flashing using techniques certified by the National Roofing Contractors Association and GAF.
If you suspect your chimney or chimney flashing may be leaking, contact us today for a free consultation.
We begin all chimney inspections by cleaning the tar off metal flashings, checking your chimney’s deck for loose or rotted wood in the process. If we notice any of these issues, we’ll repair immediately and, if needed, build a cricket at the back of the chimney to prevent water from contacting it directly. Chimney crickets divert water to either side of your chimney and are required for any chimney built through the center of a roof.
Following initial repairs, our experts then grind out mortar joints to secure flashing, wrapping your chimney securely with a shield leak barrier to protect it against ice and water. We will then step flash your shingles around the sides and back of the chimney by using a single piece of aluminum step flashing per shingle. Finally, we install lead counter flashing and mortar joints to fully protect your chimney from future leaks.
Thanks to our detailed inspection and repair process, we guarantee our roofs will not leak at the chimney. Our experts are skilled in best-practice masonry work, installing chimney/roof joints that will outlast any installers who use one-piece flashing or tar flashing methods. These inferior methods run the risk of pulling away from the chimney or rotting away with the passage of seasons over time. It pays to have J. Carnes & Son flash your chimney right the first time, ensuring your chimney will remain leak-free for the lifespan of your roofing system.
