What can cause storm damage to my roof.
- Heavy Rain: Spring storms bring heavy rains, which may lead to pooling on your roof. If your roof has any weak spots, missing shingles, damaged flashing, water can seep through and cause leaks. This can eventually case damage to the interior of your home.
- Hail: Hailstorms are common in the spring, these storms can vary in size, but no matter the size, these can still cause damage to your roof. It can dislodge your shingles, cause dents which may expose the underlying material to become exposed to the elements, creating further damage.
- Stong Winds: this may lift shingles from your roof materials. It may also lead to blowing shingles off your roof. Leaving your exposed roof to further damage.
- Lightning Strikes: Thunderstorms and lightning strikes pose a risk to roofs. Direct strikes may cause fire, weaken the roof’s structure or its integrity.
- Tree Damage: Storms may cause trees to sway and break. If these are close to your home the tree branches may rip, cause damage to your roof structure, insulation, and ceilings.
