With most of us switching to streaming services for TV these days, you may have stopped that leak in your bank account, but you might not realize how your old satellite dish might be costing you more by leaving it on the roof.
It’s not unusual for us to get called out to a roof leak caused by an old, unused satellite dish. It’s even more common for us to replace a roof and find significant damage caused by a leaking dish the homeowner knew nothing about. Reign Roofing wants to make sure you and your home are protected.
Here’s our top 3 reasons for removing that unused dish.
Roof Leaks: Mounting satellite dishes requires drilling into the shingles and decking to securely attach brackets. Over time, the seals around these holes can deteriorate, allowing water to seep in. This can lead to roof leaks and mold growth.
Void Roof Warranty: Drilling into shingles for satellite installation may void the manufacturer’s warranty, leaving your roof unprotected against certain damages.
Safety and Structural Concerns: In strong winds or storms, such as hurricanes, a satellite dish can pull on the roof, potentially causing damage. If the dish detaches, it can harm your home or pose a risk to people nearby.
The bottom line is that holes in your roof are never a good thing. These satellite dishes should be removed if unused. Unnoticed roof leaks can cause more damage including mold to your home.
