Roofers Left Debris In Attic

I 39 m determined to clean up the attic reasonably thoroughly probably over a period of time.

Roofers left debris in attic.

Roofing debris can include roofing nails shingles pieces of fascia and flashing roofing felt and underlayment or pieces of drip edge. It s not harming anything. Asphalt dust is definitely an irritant and could be causing the symptoms you are describing. Contractors should clean this debris up before leaving the site but as you probably know they oftentimes leave a mess behind for the homeowner to handle.

After all there 39 s only so much debris i can throw out in the weekly pickup. It s certainly possible that your attic ductwork is leaky and that the return ductwork in the attic is sucking in asphalt dust. Yep wayne had a look at my attic yesterday and the new roof and gutter downspout system. Remember the space under your roof is vented to outside air.

Part of the job is cleaning up the mess and a good roofer will take care to lay down tarps have a dumpster on site to remove debris quickly and efficiently as the job progresses. No reason to have it removed unless it prevents from the insulation being installed properly. The reason it will be so noisy is because the roofers will use brooms wheelbarrows shovels and tools to get the substrate clean enough to install a new roof. It is normal on a total resheet or when plywood is replaced for debris to drop into the attic.

Both shingles and sawdust can fuel attic fires turning a small flame into a devastating house fire. Meaning any dust pollen debris can and do get blown in on windy days. No need to have the debris removed.
