Concord North Carolina Roofing Specialists

Summer thunderstorms are one of the greatest pleasures of living in North Carolina. But sometimes their intensity can ramp up from a lovely evening watching lighting on the porch to battering the hatches quickly.

Severe thunderstorms can come with damaging winds, high volumes of rain which overwhelm gutters, and even hail in extreme cases. For obvious reasons, thunderstorms are a common cause for roof repair calls. Usually after a high intensity rainfall over a short period of time, homeowners start to see the results of leaks with water stains on the ceiling.

While rare, the occasional high intensity storm can make its way through North Carolina. Similar to thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes bring a wide array of roof damaging conditions. These are the highest wind events Concord will experience, causing trees to fall and shingles to rip straight off, nails included.

More common than hurricanes but more rare than thunderstorms, hail storms are still an unfortunate reality of living in North Carolina and Concord.

Hail storms occur when air is rising so aggressively back into clouds, rain cannot fall and is circulated within clouds until a frozen stone is formed and remains circulating until its weight overpowers the updraft from the cloud.

In most storms, Concord sees at largest quarter sized hail, but occasionally can get hail as big as golf balls. We recommend annual roof inspections and maintenance to make sure your roof is standing up properly against hail damage.
