Keeping critters out in Colleyville, Tx

We understand the importance of keeping critters out to maintain the integrity of your roof and ensure your home’s safety and comfort. Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner facing an unexpected challenge: a bird’s nest obstructing one of their vents.

This situation highlighted the critical need for proactive roof maintenance and protection against unwanted visitors.

When the homeowner contacted us regarding a vent obstruction, our team quickly identified the issue—a bird’s nest had found its way into the vent, causing potential ventilation problems and risking damage to the roof’s structure. Recognizing the urgency, we sprang into action to resolve the issue and prevent future critters from causing similar problems.

How We Solved The Issue:

Our first step was to carefully remove the bird’s nest, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area. With the immediate problem addressed, we turned our attention to preventing a recurrence.

We recommended and promptly installed a new screen along 2 exhaust bird-proof vent covers, specifically designed to allow proper airflow while deterring birds and other critters from nesting in vents.

Lastly, for the vents, we installed flashing and sealant along the bird stop to prevent re-entry.

We also Installed Wakaflex roof flashing along all the roof & soffit transitions on the roof.

  • Superior Waterproofing: Say goodbye to leaks! Wakaflex creates a seamless, watertight seal around roof penetrations like vents and chimneys, keeping your home dry and damage-free.

  • Long-lasting Durability: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your roof is built to last. Wakaflex is UV-resistant, withstands extreme temperatures, and stays flexible to accommodate your roof’s natural movement—keeping your home protected for years.

This proactive approach not only resolved the immediate issue but also provided the homeowner with long-term peace of mind. Knowing their roof was protected against unwanted visitors by this approach.

Additionally, we conducted a thorough inspection of the entire roof, identifying and addressing any other potential vulnerabilities to ensure its durability and performance.
