Unified Roof Restoration | Roofing Services in Berwyn, IL 60402

Nail pops are very common here due to our temperature swings. As your roof decking expands and contracts, it can push the nails up. While a single pop is often a minor repair, multiple pops can indicate wider movement and compromise your roof's seal against wind and water. It's best to have them assessed and sealed by a professional to prevent leaks.

Prevention starts in your attic. The primary cause is warm air escaping from your living space and melting snow on the roof, which then refreezes in the cold gutters. We recommend ensuring your attic has adequate insulation and ventilation to keep the roof deck cold. Installing heated gutter cables or an ice and water shield under your shingles at the eaves are also effective solutions we provide for Berwyn homes.

Late spring and early fall are ideal. After winter, we can assess any damage from ice and nail pops, and repairs can be made before the summer heat. An inspection in the fall ensures your roof and gutters are clear and prepared to handle the coming winter, allowing us to address any vulnerabilities that could lead to ice blockage or further nail movement.
