Palmer Roofing & Home Improvements | Roofing Services in Augusta, GA 30917

After a storm, look for missing or cracked shingles, granule loss in gutters, and dents on metal flashing or vents. However, damage isn't always visible from the ground. High winds can loosen shingles and compromise the underlayment, leading to leaks. We recommend a professional inspection from our team. We'll safely assess your roof's condition, check for soft spots, and ensure your home remains protected against Augusta's unpredictable weather.

Augusta's high humidity, combined with inadequate attic ventilation, is the primary culprit. Warm, moist air gets trapped in the attic, condenses on cooler roof sheathing, and soaks insulation, reducing its effectiveness and risking mold or wood rot. Our fix involves a comprehensive approach: we assess and improve ventilation with soffit and ridge vents, ensure proper insulation levels, and seal air leaks from the living space below. This creates a dry, efficient attic system tailored to our local climate.

Your first step is to minimize interior damage: place a bucket under the leak and move any valuables out of the way. Then, document the damage with photos for insurance purposes. Avoid going onto the roof yourself, as it can be dangerous, especially when wet. Call us for an emergency assessment. We prioritize storm-related repairs for Augusta homeowners, providing temporary tarping to prevent further water intrusion and a detailed plan for a permanent, code-compliant repair.
