π§οΈ The rains came. And for some of our neighbors, they came inside.
If you own a home in northern New Mexico β especially one with a flat or low-slope roof β this week's rain may have just revealed something you didn't know was waiting for you.
Flat roofs are beautiful and traditional in our region. But they require attention, especially after a wet season.
Here are 5 things to look for right now:
β
Ponding water that hasn't drained after 24β48 hours
β
Bubbles, blisters, or cracks in your roofing membrane
β
Flashing pulling away from walls, parapets, or skylights
β
Cracks in your parapet walls or loose coping caps
β
Interior stains, soft drywall, or musty smells β even far from the roof
Your home is one of your most important assets. A small inspection today can prevent a very expensive repair tomorrow.
