What is Cedar-Life’s Cedar Preservation Process?

Cedar roofing and siding continue to grow in popularity! If you have cedar roofing or siding, proper treatments and maintenance are essential to maintaining a beautiful appearance, increasing the longevity of the shingles, and increasing your home’s value. Luckily, Cedar-Life is here to help.

What is Cedar-Life?

Cedar-Life is a division of Landmark Exteriors and is a leader in cedar roof and siding preservation. We utilize a process that cleans and preserves cedar, which delays the aging process, prevents the harmful effects of sun, rain, and snow, and protects against mildew and algae growth. This treatment will help not only keep your home’s cedar in great, beautiful condition but will also improve the overall structural integrity of the roof or siding.

Our Cedar-Life roofing preservation process consists of:

  • A comprehensive roof inspection to determine the structural integrity.
  • An assessment of any necessary repairs or shingle replacement.
  • Our bleach-free, environmentally-friendly cedar cleaner is applied to remove dirt and fungus in conjunction with a controlled, pressurized cleaning system.
  • Lastly, we use our exclusive, highly-refined, formulated preservative, which will make the shingles more supple and protect them from sun damage.

We have used this process on countless homes with cedar roofs across Connecticut to improve the appearance and lifespan of their roof.

What To Do If Your Roof Is Leaking

A home’s roof handles a lot of intensity from the natural elements to protect you and your family, so damage and leaks are unfortunately inevitable. No one wants to spot a leak coming from their home’s ceiling, but if the time comes, it’s important you know what to do. The most crucial thing to remember when it comes to roof leaks is to always take immediate action.

Contain The Roof Leak

Once you’ve found a leak in your roof, the first step is to contain it the best you can so further damage doesn’t spread. Start by clearing the area where your leak is so your personal belongings don’t get ruined. Then, try to catch the water with a pot or bucket wherever the leak is dripping.  

One important thing to be aware of is that the leak is likely not coming from where you believe it is, and to find the cause, it’s crucial you call your local roofing company in Connecticut

Don’t Wait, Call A Professional

Contact your local roofers for a thorough inspection to see what needs to be done to resolve the issue. It’s essential you don’t wait to get your leak fixed, even if it doesn’t seem to be serious. The longer it persists, the worse the damage will spread, and the more costly the repairs will be. Other than water dripping from your ceiling, some signs to look out for that mean your roof is leaking include: 

  • Water spots on the ceiling or walls
  • Water spots or roof decking that is wet (visible in the attic)
  • Cracked or damaged shingles
  • Missing shingles
  • Missing flashing around your chimney

Prepare For Repairs

Hopefully, you were able to catch the leak quickly, and the repairs will be isolated to one area. However, if the damage was extensive or your roof is relatively old, a total roof replacement may be needed. Be sure to consult with your local expert roofers to handle any repairs or replacements.
