Most of us welcome the symphony of birds chirping on a sunny spring morning. Some of us can even identify the species of a bird from its own distinctive song. Despite the allure of listening to (or watching) our favorite feathered friends, the packaged deal poses a handful of headaches and hassles for homeowners. Perhaps the most unexpected source of a world of damage to your roof and home is bird droppings.
Constant bird droppings on the vehicles parked in your driveway is a clear warning sign that birds may also be dropping on your roof. However, droppings splotched on your roof can cause more damage than droppings splattered on your SUV. In fact, large quantities of bird droppings left to linger for too long can cut the life expectancy of your roof in half.
Harmful uric acid, clogged gutters, ice dams, and even fires top the list of hazards linked to birds and their droppings. Ledbetter Living is here to help you understand, identify, manage, and prevent the destructive path of this unexpected roof dilemma.
Bird droppings and uric acid.
Birds don’t have a bladder, which means they don’t urinate. Instead, birds store liquid and solid wastes together. The high concentration of uric acid in bird droppings—usually a pH level between 3 and 4.5.—can harm your roof, your home, and your health.
Bird droppings are corrosive by nature. The droppings can weaken roof tar and tar paper, and eat away at asphalt shingles and other roofing materials. (Bird droppings can also eat through paint). Shingles damaged by bird droppings are more susceptible to leaks and more detrimental to your roof and home. Let Ledbetter Living help you manage this and more.
