Harsh weather can cause serious danger to your roof. Rain, sleet, ice, snow, and heavy winds can lead to damage ranging from minimal to severe. Here are the kinds that you will need to be on the lookout for.
Rain pounding on your roof may sometimes be the kind of sound that lulls you into a deep sleep. But a heavy thunderstorm can be a very frightening and damaging experience. The result can be a great deal of water accumulation on the surface of your roof. You should also be aware that excessive storms can drop hailstones that can cause rips and tears.
Other forms of extreme weather can result in a heavy accumulation of ice and snow. These are elements that can cause severe problems for your roof, as well as the rest of your home, if not addressed in a timely fashion.
Strong winds can tear up loose shingles and send them flying straight off of your roof. This can lead to gaps, rips, tears, and subsequent leaks. The ultimate result can be a very expensive level of physical damage to your roof and, potentially, other parts of your home and property.
Excessively high temperatures can cause great damage to your roof over time. Among other things, it can cause the shingles on your roof to expand, contract, or even melt.
Once the storm or other severe weather has passed, you will need to get up on your roof to check if any damage has been done. What you come upon may well be more than you can handle on your own.
