Which Material Manufacturers Are The Best & Do They Matter

The health of your roof is vital. An unhealthy roof is usually the sign of either old or poor quality roofing materials. Old roofing and or cheap roofing materials cause a host of different roofing issues including roof dams, ice ponding, and ultimately roof leaks. I will now discuss how roof dams and ice ponds end up spewing water into your house and what you can do to avoid this from happening.

The Problem:

When water and ice build up on your roof they basically just sit there. Ice and snow can obviously easily stick on the roof as it has nowhere to go and slowly seep into your roofing layers. But, it can only get into your home if your roof materials and adhesives are poor quality, cheap or old. Rain can pond of your roof due to poorly constructed slopes, really heavy rain, or clogged gutters.

In both scenarios, water is basically “hanging out” on your roof and slowly wrecking the internal infrastructure of your house as it seeps in. This can lead to mold, wall damage, flooring damage, and much more. So now that we identified the problem let’s discuss the solutions.

The Solution:

The solution is simple, the first stage is preventative. This is where you make sure that your roof slopes are adequate and your gutters are clean. This is the first step of keeping ice and snow from ponding on the roof. But, the reality is that as clean as your gutters are and as smooth as your slope is, it’s not enough. Heavy rains and snow will eventually lead to some sort of backup and the water will be on your roof for extended amounts of time. Here is where quality roofing materials and adhesives come in.

This equation simple, first you use shingles or flat roofing materials on your home or business that are high quality. Have your roofer use manufacturers like GAF, TAMKO, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed. Most of these “big box” suppliers will also offer long term warranties on their materials and they can be relied on.

Although having a high quality roof material is critical, it’s also not enough. To stop damming at its source you will also need really high end roofing membranes (adhesives). This state-of-the-art glue materials will work hand in hand with high-quality shingles or other roofing materials to ensure water just cannot get in. The membranes are used with layered roofing materials and when combined and used right by a professional contractor they will stop anything mother nature is able to bring onto your structure from getting in.

So you see it’s simple first invest a little more in quality materials from big-name manufacturers. Second, use high-quality roofing membranes. And three, get a good roofer to put down the layers and combine the quality materials. Follow these 3 steps and your home or business will be 100% waterproof.
