Roofers left debris in attic.

No need to have the debris removed. Yep wayne had a look at my attic yesterday and the new roof and gutter downspout system. No reason to have it removed unless it prevents from the insulation being installed properly. I 39 m determined to clean up the attic reasonably thoroughly probably over a period of time.

A lesser known fire hazard that s left behind after a roofing job is moisture. After all there 39 s only so much debris i can throw out in the weekly pickup. It s common for debris to land in the attic or on the ground around your home. 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.

It is normal on a total resheet or when plywood is replaced for debris to drop into the attic. Remember the space under your roof is vented to outside air. 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.

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. Roofing debris can include roofing nails shingles pieces of fascia and flashing roofing felt and underlayment or pieces of drip edge. It s certainly possible that your attic ductwork is leaky and that the return ductwork in the attic is sucking in asphalt dust.
