Inspecting Your Roof Before Storm Damage Season

It's Rainy Season

The rainy season is the biggest threat to a roof, especially when it brings stormy weather. A well-maintained roof can resist in this context, but if it is not maintained regularly and lacks proper ventilation, the rain and the wind will surely accelerate the decomposition process and you will start experiencing various problems: water leaks, mold formation and even structural instability.

Roofing professionals suggest that inspecting the roof should be a regular operation that must be carried out at least once a year, to detect potential problems before they turn into a disaster, so it is to your best interest to hire a roofing company Lansing hosts for an inspection. You can increase the inspection frequency once every four or five months, if you live in a rainy area, prone to storms.

If you are going to do the inspection yourself, look for broken or degraded shingles, holes or any other signs of damage. Also, check the gutter system. If you constantly see granules in the gutters, you should hire a professional for a thorough inspection.

Adequate roof ventilation is another important aspect for keeping the roof in good condition during the rainy season. 90% of the roofs degrade prematurely precisely due to poor ventilation. Keep track of indoor temperatures. If the house is unusually cold in winter and unusually warm in summer, this is a sign that you must correct some roof ventilation problems.
