Installed at the edges and corners of your roof, drip edges are essentially L-shaped metal sheets that funnel water away from the fascia and into the eavestroughs and gutter. Damaged or absent drip edges allow water to seep underneath the shingles of your roof which may ultimately result in structural damage to your home.

An unexpected roof leak is definitely what some may consider a nightmare scenario – not only can it pose a risk of potential structural damage, but it can also trigger the growth and spread of mold and mildew throughout your home. Fortunately, there are measures you can take that will temporarily mitigate the detrimental effects of an unexpected roof leak until you can get a professional roofer out to your home.
