Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most common cause of roof leaks in Greer homes, and how do you fix them?
In our area, leaks often stem from worn or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as well as from clogged gutters that cause water to back up under the shingles. At Howell Roofing, we start with a comprehensive inspection to pinpoint the exact entry point. Our repair process involves carefully removing compromised materials, replacing the flashing or sealing the vulnerable area with high-quality, waterproof materials, and ensuring proper drainage is restored to prevent future issues.
How can I tell if my roof deck is rotting, and why is it a serious problem?
Signs of roof deck rot (or sheathing rot) include sagging roof lines, dark stains on your interior ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. This is a critical issue in Greer because a compromised deck loses its structural strength, can lead to widespread leaks, and jeopardizes the safety of your entire roofing system. We address this by safely removing the affected shingles, cutting out and replacing all rotted decking with new, code-compliant plywood, and then reinstalling a proper underlayment and new shingles to ensure a solid, secure roof.
After you repair a leak or rotten deck, how do you prevent the problem from coming back?
Prevention is key. Our repairs are built to last, but we also provide homeowners with practical advice. This includes recommending regular gutter cleaning to handle our heavy rains, suggesting periodic attic ventilation checks to reduce moisture buildup that accelerates rot, and advising on the timing for a professional roof inspection—typically after major storms. We use materials specifically suited for our local climate and ensure all work meets strict manufacturer specifications for a long-lasting, weather-tight seal.
