Avoid Damage to the Roof Structure

By |2019-11-19T10:34:27-05:00November 10, 2016|Roofing|Comments Off on Avoid Damage to the Roof Structure

Whether it’s a small leak or a major structural problem, roofing experts strongly recommend calling for professional roof repair services at the first sign of a problem. Why the strong sense of urgency? What makes roof problems of any scale such a high priority issue? Here are a few reasons why roof issues need to be jumped on asap.

Avoid Damage to the Roof Structure

Rainwater in the attic can cause many problems. For one, the attic insulation will start to clump up and create holes that allow indoor heat to escape. This can potentially increase your home’s energy consumption by pushing your HVAC system to compensate. Excessive moisture can also be absorbed by the rafters, ceiling joists, wall framing and even the decking material itself, leading to rot and permanent damage that typically results in warped rooflines and even a complete collapse.

A roof replacement addresses issues like water intrusion. However, having it replaced by a trusted roofing company while the trusses, rafters and roof deck are in good shape means you won’t have to spend extra on having the roof rebuilt from scratch. And if the insulation is still in good shape, that may yet result in more savings.

Minimize Chances of Damage to the Foundation

The problem with leaks is that they just go everywhere, and there’s no predicting which part of the house the water will reach. In some cases, the leak starts collecting in the basement area, which, if left unnoticed, can get absorbed by the concrete pillars that form the foundation.

This is the exact reason gutters are installed around the roof perimeter in the first place. Concrete readily absorbs water. If this continuously happens, the pillars will become spongy and crumble over time, leading to a partial or full collapse of the house. Even if your gutters are well-maintained, but the concrete still gets exposed to water from elsewhere – flooded basements in this case – the chances of developing structural issues are high.

4 Ways to Find an Proficient Roofing Contractor

By |2019-11-19T14:09:40-05:00November 10, 2016|Construction|Comments Off on 4 Ways to Find an Proficient Roofing Contractor

Finding a contractor is easy, but finding one that can deliver on their promises is what’s more challenging. This is why you should assess a roofing company’s performance and reputation before working with them. FRS Roofing lists four qualities to look for in a roofing contractor.

1. Insured and Licensed

Most states require roofers to be insured and licensed to perform any roofing project. This protects homeowners from faulty re-roofing procedures that can cause safety hazards and compromise structural integrity. Plus, it will be easier to get the necessary permits when you entrust the job to the pros.

2. Positive Client Reviews

A roofing company with a proven reputation won’t have a hard time receiving positive feedback from their previous clients. At FRS, we have earned good reviews from people who have had previous engagements with our team. One happy customer, Steve L., from Stoneham praised our crew and left a comment on our website:

“What a great roofing company. They showed up when they said they would, and did the job they said. My roof came out awesome!! Moacir is great, he answered all my questions and explained the job fully so I understood everything. He was easy to get in touch with when I needed. Their pricing is great, also. They work clean and quickly. They have also done my dad’s roof. That came out awesome also!!”

3. Workmanship

In addition to online client reviews, ask your roofers for references so you can check out their work. This allows you to personally talk to other homeowners and ask about your prospective roofer’s performance.

4. Quality of Products

Trust your roof replacement project to a contractor that offers exceptional roofing materials from a trusted manufacturer. Our partnership with Owen Corner allows us to install superior roofing systems that can stand the test of time.

FRS Roofing, one of the leading roofers in the area, provides expert roofing services to help protect your home from the harsh elements. Call us today at (617) 935-9563. We serve residents of Metro Boston.

What to Do if Your Roof Leaks in a Heavy Storm

By |2019-11-19T10:41:31-05:00August 7, 2015|Roofing|Comments Off on What to Do if Your Roof Leaks in a Heavy Storm

Notwithstanding whether it is spring or summer, the more sweltering atmosphere brings rainstorms. We expected to show a couple of techniques to seek after on the off chance that you’re seeing gaps from your rooftop in the midst of overpowering or splashing rainstorms.

What Causes Roof Leaks During Rain Storms?

All things being equal, the saying, “water constantly wins” has some bona fide truth to it. Everything outwardly of your home beginning from the rooftop is a bit of what we call the building envelope and even the humblest defect can allow water intrusion. With significant, wind-driven rains or even determined rains in excess of a couple of days, the chances of working up an opening are more likely.

Bay windows

Try not to judge us, but overall we love a our sky windows. Who doesn’t want more light inside their home? Who wouldn’t care to see the stars from their bed? Regardless on how great your window was installed, it is helpless against spilling in overpowering storms than a housetop with no straight window.

You shouldn’t have issues with sky light windows in any rain condition, yet overpowering storms, and especially wind-driven deluges make them more inclined to spill.

Plumbing Vent Stacks and Fan Vent Hoods

Plumbing can be another issue for a housetop. A broken or erroneously installed vent stack will spill in during heavy storm. In addition, fan vent hood flashings, and addition `radiator flu flashings, are notorious for having gaps.

Chimney Chases

Brick chimneys can allow water entrance as a result of gaps in the cap and mortar joints. In the midst of considerable soaking storms, the water really splashes into the mortar and will at last find a way if the rain is overpowering or props up adequately long. If you have a physical chimney, explore it for broken joints or missing bricks, or bits of absent brick . Likewise, research to what degree it takes to dry after any rain.

The flashing might be to blame too. In case you have siding on your chimney, also known as “chase”  this can a problem, especially if it rotten, split and/or missing wood siding.  Another potential issue is the tops or “Chase Caps.” The have a tendency to hold water – causing the caulk to fail, eventually allowing water to drip your fire box. The flashing can also be a problem, however  if you’re seeing a leak normally regular rain, and see a leak with a heaey wind-driven rains, there might be another problem.

Damage to Your Roof

The roofing structure is your first line of protection in the midst of any rain. While much of the time the reason behind a gap is defective or falling flashing, caulk, or something more, it is conceivable that possible may have sustained real damage to your roof. A tree limb that’s fallen, a missing shingles, or ridge vent that out place most certainly will show up as leak where there wasn’t one.

What to Do if Your Ceiling Starts to Leak

If you have a leak in your roof, it might be that you may have had in leak in your attic for a period of time with the insulation and drywall getting soaked. You might want to determine how bad the issue is by poking a small hole where you see the drip. That would be a low point in the drywall allowing it to drain.

When the storm has passed, call a roofer. They can cover your roof or replace missing shingles. They can also determined if there real damage to your roof. If your attic is reachable, you should have a contractor clear up the wet insulation or pull it back.

In Closing

If you’re getting roof leaks during heavy rain storms, give a roofer a call. The other option is brave the ladder and height and do ti yourself. If you’re in the Metro Boston area, give FRS Roofing a call at 781-322-6252.

All You Need To Know About Toxic Mold

By |2019-11-19T10:15:40-05:00August 7, 2015|Home Improvement|Comments Off on All You Need To Know About Toxic Mold

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TOXIC MOLD

There is no place that mold is absent even inside the house, brick wall, and outside the house, like the garden. Its presence is noticed by the blackening of any surface it appears on. Inside the house mold is found anywhere moisture is present which can be in the kitchen sink drain and sponge,  potted plants, shower grout, etc.

Though mold can be found everywhere, it is not a cause to panic when you see a little patch of it. In that stage, cleaning is done easily with a mixture of water and bleach. It is important to note that any mold at all have the potential of making someone sick. This potential is even higher in person that have allergies and asthma. It is always safer to use protective gloves and face masks while dealing with them. Ensure also that the place is well ventilated.

Fact About Mold

The infamous Stachybotrys chartarum is known also as black mold but it is not toxic, rather it has the ability to produce mycotoxins. Black mold is feared because of its apparent dangerous effect on man.

This is so because of many reports from websites and written articles that it is a plague that has terrifying symptoms such as memory loss or idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage.

However, the official report from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) differs significantly from the speculation from reports making waves in the news. For one, officials in CDC believes that symptoms being associated with black molds like memory loss or idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage are rare and the link between a toxigenic and those conditions haven’t been proven at all. Irrespective of that, all types of mold should be treated as health impediment and be removed using safety Procedures.

Unlike other household molds, black mold is rare in the house because it requires a lot of moisture to survive and thrive. Therefore, it is rarely seen together with other types of household mold. You should be worried more about fixing your house if it is leaking due to a broken roof, broken pipe or outright poltergeist, rather than fret about black mold which should be the least of your worries.

You need to know that the presence of mold in your house is pointer to a leak in the house which is allowing moisture inside and which must be fixed for you to be free of mold. There is no need of confirmation from anyone if you see or suspect a black stain in your house to be mold, fix it by cleaning it off. Try to also locate the moisture inlet and close it to prevent future occurrence. You need to make hay while the sun shines because even the so-called non-toxigenic mold can cause an allergic reaction.

Prevention of Mold

All type of mold needs three basic elements to survive: moisture, food i.e. dirty and, a surface to grow on. The easier way to prevent molds are:

  • Keep your house as dry as possible so that mold doesn’t see any moisture to flourish with. Mold will never come to a house that is dry and well ventilated.
  • Cultivate the attitude of cleaning your house especially the bathroom and kitchen part that moisture abounds Try to also keep it well ventilated, clean and dry.
  • Keep all surfaces such as tile grout, sink drain, walls and shower curtains neat and dry.

Removal of Mold

  • A mixture or solution of water and bleach is recommended for cleaning and removing mold from a hard surface found inside the house.
  • For surfaces outside, a pressure washer is advisable, remember to seal up the leak properly after cleaning.
  • For a soft and porous surface like furniture, it is better to dispose off the affected material before the mold spreads and cause” more harm.

For houses that are heavily infested by mold, like a flood-ridden house, the services of a professional is needed before such a house can be inhabited. According to the Federal Emergency Agency, children, the aged, pregnant women, people who have immune system problem or respiratory problem like asthma, or allergies are more at risk from the effect of mold.

Lastly, don’t panic when you notice mold in your house and remember to protect yourself while cleaning mold.
