Tulsa, Oklahoma is a beautiful place to live, but Tulsa weather can be hard on roofs. Homeowners need to remember that regular roof maintenance can save them a lot of money. Inside the home, especially in the attic, it’s important to check for any signs of water damage. Look for bubbles in the ceiling or walls, dark spots or smears, or wet spots. Leaking water can damage a home in a number of ways. Water, mold and mildew can all cause structural damage and health problems. Unseen water can warp hardwood floors and stain carpets. It’s often overlooked, but a leaking roof can be a fire hazard. It’s important to ensure that water from a leak is not coming into contact with electrical wires. If that happens, an electrician should be called and power shut off to the affected wires.
When there is a leak, a professional roofing contractor should be called. Sometimes it is very difficult to determine how to permanently stop a leak. A roof consists of layers of different materials, and water can run under a layer from one spot to another. Experience really pays in situations like this. Before selecting a contractor, a homeowner should do independent research to find a reputable firm. A contractor should have fully trained and certified employees and have a record of successfully servicing roofs in the Tulsa area. If a contractor routinely uses sub-contractors, the homeowner cannot be confident that high-quality work will be done.
A thorough inspection should be done of the roof by a knowledgable person who takes the time to address any concerns the homeowner may have. It is never a good idea to permit someone going door-to-door to do work on your roof. A reputable, reliable roofing contractor is a member of the community who will be there in the future.
