How does your roofer know when your asphalt shingle roof is at the end of its life? In the rainy Seattle area, a worn asphalt shingle roof cannot protect your home from moisture.

What happens if it rains during a roof replacement?

Roofing crews plan for rainy weather carefully. If rain is expected:

• the roof is torn off and covered in small sections
• exposed areas are covered immediately
• tarps are installed for temporary protection (as needed)
• work may be rescheduled in heavy rain

Professional crews minimize risk even in unpredictable weather.

How do roofers know that your attic has poor airflow? Two major signs that air isn't flowing through your roof very well are mold and a failed smoke test. Mold (especially large amounts) shows that moisture is collecting in your roof and staying there. Your roofer can do a test with a smoke machine to see if it flows out of the exhaust vents. In this case, it didn't even get close, showing that air is not really moving in this attic.
