Roofline conditions in Ingersoll
Ingersoll sits in the Thames valley, and the low-lying streets near the river hold humidity longer through spring and fall. On north-facing walls that translates into more algae and green staining on lower courses than the same siding would show on higher ground.
At the roof edge that translates into ice and snow loading on the trough and the fascia, and into how much intake air the soffit has to carry through a long heating season.
About 30 minutes east of London on Highway 401.
Where soffit and fascia goes wrong
- Capping run over a fascia board that was never checked, so the rot continues out of sight and the trough it carries starts to pull away two winters later.
What drives the price in Ingersoll
Linear metres of roof edge and the number of returns, corners and gable ends, not the square footage of the house.
Ingersoll is 35 km from the London base. About 30 minutes east of London on Highway 401. Travel affects scheduling, not the price, and either way it is stated before you book.
How soffit and fascia is done properly
- Fascia capping over rotted wood fascia hides the rot rather than fixing it. The board gets checked and replaced before capping goes on.
- Fascia carries the trough. A fascia board that has gone soft behind the capping will not hold a hanger under an ice load, which is why the board is checked before anything is fastened back to it.
What comes off the wall in Ingersoll
Ingersoll is a plant town on a river, and the two facts combine: a lot of the housing is on the valley floor, where the freeze-thaw cycle runs a little wetter than it does on the surrounding tableland.
What tear-off most often turns up on a Ingersoll wall:
- Algae and green staining on shaded north elevations near the river.
