HouseMaster eNewsletter - SPRING ROOF MAINTENANCE

What you don't know CAN hurt you--or your house! Few, if any of us, crawl up on our roofs to inspect them, but there can be hidden problems that can turn into big issues if you ignore this important area of your home. One thing that home inspectors often find when folks are buying a home is rotted or damaged vent pipe collars. A roof may have a 20, 30 or 40 year warranty, but the vent pipe collars deteriorate MUCH sooner. So, go up in your attic and, if you can see daylight peeking through around the pipes that run up through the roof or there are moisture stains there, call a repair man.

Here's a great article on end-of-winter roof maintenance/inspection.
