Soffit and Fascia Repair in Loveland
We invented our own box gutter liner in part because we have been doing soffit and fascia repair in Loveland for many years. We know all too well the damage that can occur when gutters of any kind begin to leak. In Cincinnati, like most areas, the soffit and fascia on the majority of homes are wood. That's not a bad thing. Wood, however, will rot over time when exposed to the elements. To avoid this, some homeowners switch to a different material at some point. One option is composite PVC. PVC can be made to look like wood, but isn't prone to the same type of damage, such as wood rot.
Of course, any major renovation like this can get pretty expensive. Because of that, many homeowners decide to stick with the original wooden construction. It's important for these homeowners to be aware of the maintenance necessary to keep away wood rot on soffit and fascia. Without this maintenance, it's only a matter of time before repairs are necessary.
To make sure your soffit and fascia problems don't get worse, you should perform a professional soffit and fascia repair in Loveland as soon as the issue is discovered. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repair is going to be. It's also important to ensure that the repair is performed by an experienced home repair professional.
What Causes Soffit and Fascia Damage?
Homeowners find themselves needing soffit and fascia repair in Loveland when water has invaded places it doesn't belong. We have some great, detailed blog posts about how moisture instrusion occurs, but here's the quick version. Soffit and fascia damage occurs when rain never gets redirected appropriately. In the preferred situation, rain falls down your roof, travels into and through the gutter, down your downspout, and away from your home's foundation.
The issue lies with water that never gets away from your roofline. The rain will sometimes cling to the shingle and find its way to your soffit and fascia. This is the primary cause of wood rot. Using a small tin strip called "drip edge" can force that water into your gutter and away from the house.
What to Look For in Soffit and Fascia Repair
If you're in need of soffit and fascia repair in Loveland, do your research and know what to look for. On a day that is dry, do a quick inspection of the roofline of your house. If you see these warning signs, it's likely time to pursue soffit and fascia repair:
- Differences between gutter and fascia: Discoloration or peeling paint is an indication of water intrusion. This can also be a precursor to wood rot.
- Streaks or water stains: This an indicator that water is traveling over the gutter's edge in stead of through the gutter and downspout. This is often caused by an improper grading of your gutter or a clog. Regardless, you should fix this issue soon.
