Memphis Roofing Contractors Take the Fear Out Of Going To The Attic

In most scary movies something bad usually happens when someone goes down into the basement. In real life the problems are more likely lurking in your attic. If your attic is like most homes it is full of old Christmas decorations, kids old toys, suitcases and outdated furniture. That’s not the scary part of the attic though.

The really frightening part of the attic can be found by closely examining the roofing decking that is probably visible when you look up. If you see water stains where rain has been dripping through you may have a real horror on your hands. Being Memphis roofing contractors we find ourselves up in attics quite often. That’s usually the best way to determine the point of a leak in your ceiling.

While in the attic we often see the tell tale signs of damage from many years of rain leaking neglect. The rain leaking through your roofing causes a couple of problems.
