Soffit and Fascia Repair in Mason
At ProMaster Home Repair, we came up with our own box gutter liner partially because of the damage that can occur when gutters of any kind begin to leak. We've see plenty of damage, as we've been doing soffit and fascia repair in Mason for quite some time. Like most areas, the soffit and fascia on the majority of Cincinnati homes are made of wood. While this isn't necessarily bad, wood will rot over time. To try to fend off the effects of the elements, some homeowners switch to a synthectic material. One choice is PVC. PVC can be manufactured to have the appearance of wood, but won't wear from the issues wood will, such as wood rot.
Major renovations like replacing your soffit and fascia are never cheap. That's why many folks leave everything as it is. It's important for these individuals to learn the ins and outs of the maintenance that will keep away wood rot on soffit and fascia. Otherwise it's only a matter of time before repairs become mandatory.
To ensure greater damage isn't caused to your home, you should perform a professional soffit and fascia repair in Mason immediately after you discover an issue. The longer it takes, the more expensive (and problematic) the fix will be.
What Causes Soffit and Fascia Damage?
People usually find themselves needing soffit and fascia repair in Mason when water gets into places it shouldn't. We have some great blog posts about moisture instrusion, but here's the long and short of it. Soffit and fascia damage happens when rain water doesn't get redirected as it should. In a perfect scenario, rain falls down your roof, travels into and through the gutter, down your downspout, and away from your home's foundation.
The problem ocurs when water never gets away from your roofline. Rain can often cling to the shingle and work its way underneath to your soffit and fascia. This is how wood rot occurs. Installing a small piece of metal called "drip edge" will redirect rain water into your gutter and away from soffit and fascia.
What to Look For in Soffit and Fascia Repair
If you're in need of soffit and fascia repair in Mason, be sure you know what you should be on the lookout for. On a dry day, do a quick inspection of the roofline of your house. If you see the following issues, it's probably time to look into soffit and fascia repair:
- Differences between gutter and fascia: Discoloration or peeling paint is an sign that water has caused a problem. This can also be a precursor to wood rot.
- Streaks or water stains: Staining may indicate that that water is falling over the edge of the gutter instead of travelling through the gutter and downspout. This can be caused by a clog or the improper grading of your gutter. Either way, a homeonwer should rectify the problem quickly, lest things get out of hand:
