1. Is Stuff Dripping From Your Ceiling?

2. Seeing Stuff Crawl Up Your Wall?
While putting up Halloween decorations keep an eye out for home exterior damage! Looking inside and out for signs of damage can help catch small issues in need of repair.
Seeing something scary crawling up your walls? It might be mold. Studies show that 7 in 10 homes have water damage and your home has all the food sources needed for it to thrive. Common places include window frames and casing, areas around gutters, exterior siding, interior insulation and more. Your attic is also a prime target for mold growth due to humidity levels. Proper roof ventilation is critical to keep moisture build-up from dampening attic insulation and damaging the structural components of your home. A seasonal roof inspection is one way to keep it in check!
3. Feel Like Ghosts Are In Your Home?
Unexplained temperature changes and breezes aren’t always caused by ghosts! Most of the time, they are caused by an improperly sealed window or door – but they can also be caused by inadequate attic insulation. Checking your home for signs of air leaks is an easy way to keep costs low and prevent your heating/cooling systems from working overtime.
4. Does Your Roof Look Like A Horror Movie?
Missing, curling or buckling shingles can all make your home look like a haunted house! Unfortunately, these are all signs of much bigger roofing problems that can lead to expensive repairs if not address ASAP.
