Above & Beyond Roofing Lake of the Ozarks

Most homeowners are unaware of the damage that can be caused by poor attic ventilation. An astonishing 9 out of 10 homes in North America have improper attic ventilation. Our Lake of the Ozarks roofing company is here to explain some of the major roof damages caused by insufficient ventilation. How Attic Ventilation Works Attic ventilation refers to the constant flow of outside air through your attic. This ventilation serves two main purposes: During the winter, it is important for cold outdoor air to keep the attic cool.

When the moisture drips, it wets the insulation causing it to not perform as well. A warm attic can also lead to ice damming when snow or ice on the roof begins to melt. This can cause leaks in your home. Good ventilation will reduce the moisture before damage an occur.  During the summer, the natural air flow prev...

As a Lake of the Ozarks homeowner , you probably don't think much about your gutters. However, understanding the importance of gutters may prevent costly home repair bills in the future. Gutters in proper working condition will funnel water off of the roof and away from your home. This protects your Lake of the Ozarks roof , siding, windows, doors and foundation from water damage. Many homeowners don't realize the damage that can occur when their gutters are clogged, leaking or broken. If your gutters are not functioning properly, rainwater runs off the roof of the house and collects on the ground near the foundation.

Here are some facts about Thunderstorms and how you can protect your Lake of the Ozarks roof  from further damage this spring!
