I love those little 6 legged critters. ha. ha.
They sure love that moisture.
Here are a few pics from this weeks project of replaceing roof edges that was determined to be leaking a year ago by destructive investigation.
Suspect ants, I agree with Frank, recommend a WDI Investigation and remediation protocol.
Here are the pics;
This is what they like, Moisture, makes tunneling a lot easier for them.
Removing the Roof edge gravel stop only to reveal the old gravel stop still in place and showing signs of leakage.
Cut out 24" of the old roof, and there is the evidence. Carpenter Ants are there.
Destruction they can cause of wet leaking roofs.
I think, I found them. ha. ha.
Yep!
Thousands of them.
Extent of the damage stayed where the moisture and leakage was happening. This shows the roof edge of this pitched flat roof.
Any evidence of WDI, Recommend an expert to evaluate and expect the worse.
Hope this helps. :)
