Preventative Measures to Minimize Severe Weather Roofing Damage
Did you know excessive heat can be just as tough on your roof as a major storm? Curious how you can help protect your home during a heat advisory? Here are some expert tips:
- Inspect Attics and Ventilation: Make sure attic vents are clear and working to prevent trapped heat, which can damage roofing materials.
- Check for Warped or Loose Shingles: Extreme temperatures can cause asphalt shingles to curl, crack, or even detach. Check for shingle repair & replacement if you notice these issues.
- Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Remove any debris to ensure rain from sudden summer storms drains properly, reducing the risk of leaks or water damage.
- Look for Discoloration: Dark spots or streaks can signal heat-related wear that may require attention.
If you spot anything unusual or just want peace of mind, remember: professional roof inspections are always free with us. No obligation, no hassle.
Community Safety During the Heat Advisory
- Follow OSHA advice: Schedule rest breaks in the shade or indoors if working outdoors.
- Never leave children or pets in vehicles—even a few minutes can turn deadly in this heat.
