Brownsburg is a town in Hendricks County, north-west of Indianapolis. Its ZIP is 46112. The town is in a different county from the city, and its roofs take the same winter ice and storm seasons as the rest of the metro, so the record for the address is the first thing to check.
Indianapolis Roofing connects Brownsburg callers with a local technician who confirms the address and the county, checks the storm record and visits the roof. The attic is opened first, and the findings are recorded slope by slope.
The sections below cover the roof questions in the town, the winter and storm records for the area and the paperwork a homeowner should keep after each visit.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Ice dams form at the eaves of roofs in the town as they do in the city. The melt runs to the cold edge and refreezes, and the attic is where the warm air that feeds the dam can be found and sealed.
After a hard winter, the joints and valleys are checked for openings the thaw has made, and each is recorded with its date for the spring repair.
The 10 August 2020 derecho brought widespread wind damage across central Indiana, with trees and power lines down. A town address is read against the storm record for itself, and the report says whether the marks match.
Hail and wind in spring and summer mark the vents and gutters before the shingles. The count is made by slope, and the storm date is written beside it.
Spring brings the storms of central Indiana, with straight-line wind and hail. A roof in the town is read against the storm record for its own address, and the metal vents and gutters are checked first for the round dents hail leaves.
The shingles are then counted in test squares on each slope, and the wind marks at the edges are recorded separately. The report keeps the storm damage apart from wear and from any ice damage.
A simple plan has two visits: one in the autumn before the freeze and one in the spring after the thaw. An extra visit follows any storm that covered the house, and the record is kept with the house file.
The plan is easier to keep when the next visit is booked before the current one ends, and the technician can set the dates to suit the household.
The eave is cleared with care and the attic is checked for the warm air that fed the dam. The attic is sealed where it leaks, and the soffit vents are opened so the attic stays close to the outside temperature.
The report says which of the two steps was taken and which is still needed, so the next winter starts with the work that is left.
