Your roofing system enhances your home’s curb appeal and appearance, while protecting your family from the elements. But did you know that your roof also has a lot to do with your home’s indoor air quality? In this post, WaynCo Roofing, LLC, the top roofing company in your area, shares a few ways you can avoid indoor air quality problems when conducting roofing projects.
Low slope hot tar roofs that are built on-site using layers of felt, hot asphalt, or coal tar pitch can be problematic for a few reasons. The hot tar used on the job site is heated using a kettle creates fumes that can be harmful to your health. Also, rubber roofs can cause some air quality issues due to the adhesives that they use. These adhesives are applied in large quantities during roofing projects, and these adhesives can emit large amounts of volatile organic chemicals, or VOC.
This is why it’s important for your roofer to prepare for the job so that everyone on-site, worker, and homeowner alike, won’t be exposed extensively to VOCs. These risks can be minimized by using less-harmful substitutes and using the proper personal protective equipment during the job to minimize your exposure to these compounds.
