Common signs in our area include visible rust or corrosion on metal flashings, water stains on interior ceilings or walls near chimneys or vents, and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters near these junctions. Given Concord's weather, these components are under constant stress. We recommend a professional inspection, especially after severe storms, to catch and repair minor issues before they lead to major leaks.

Moisture in insulation drastically reduces its R-value, leading to higher heating costs during our cold winters and potential for mold growth. It often stems from inadequate attic ventilation or a compromised roof membrane. We address this by first identifying and fixing the root cause of the moisture intrusion, then assessing the insulation. Wet insulation must be removed and replaced to restore your home's thermal efficiency and prevent structural damage.

A thorough local inspection should focus on problem areas like valleys, around penetrations (vents, chimneys), and the overall attic ventilation system. We specifically check flashings for integrity, look for signs of ice dam damage, assess shingle condition for granule loss, and evaluate attic airflow to prevent condensation. This proactive approach helps manage the specific wear-and-tear caused by New Hampshire's freeze-thaw cycles and precipitation.
