Your home’s roof is its primary means of protection from the elements, but sudden storms and accidents can damage this crucial barrier, creating water stains and increasing the risk of mold growth. Here, we’ll go over the issues we see most often and show you how to handle them quickly and efficiently.
What Can Happen to My Roof?
Understanding the most common roof emergencies can help you know if you need emergency roofing services. We handle:
- Storm damage. Hail, high winds, and heavy rain can cause severe roof damage. After the storm passes, look for leaks, dents, and missing shingles.
- Tree damage. Falling trees and branches can puncture roofs, leading to devastating damage. Trim nearby trees regularly to minimize the risk.
- Ordinary wear and tear. All roofs have finite lifespans, and it’s crucial to look for signs like sagging, cracking of shingles, and general deterioration.
- Flashing flaws. Flashing seals joints and prevents leaks, but time and wear can lead to rooftop emergencies.
Lastly, roofs that aren’t installed properly are more likely to fail. Whether you need emergency roof repair or want to start from scratch, always hire licensed contractors.
