Roofing Damage 101
We live in an amazing state, however, like most areas it has its fair share of obstacles too. The harsh weather at times produces a great deal of stress on your home, especially the roof. Here are some instances of damage that a San Diego Roofer will likely see and repair at some point in time from the California climate.
Wind Damage
Dominant winds can blow roofing material off of a home or building. It isnot merely shingles that can be damaged, but the felt and sheathing underneath that protects the structure can also be compromised. Trees that are close to and above a roof can cause damage from the impact of falling limbs. Conduct a roof inspection at least once per year to ensure there is no residual damage left from the wind, preferably with a San Diego Roofing professional.
Water Damage
Heavy rains leading to roof runoff can destroy a guttering system, downspouts, and eaves when they become more intense than your guttering system can handle. This additional water puts added stress on the flashing, which is the material used over joints on the roof to prevent water from entering and causing damage.
Hail Storms
Hail can often break skylights and windows in addition to damaging shingles. Hailstorms are extremely hard on a roof and weaken their integrity and lifespan. An inspection should be performed after all hailstorms regardless of the roofing system that is installed.
Professional Inspection
It is quite common for the novice eye to oversee small details and possible issues, even if you have the ability to access your rooftop to make a visual evaluation. Dont allow the California weather to cause damage to your home, schedule a roof inspection with a San Diego Roofing Contractor and protect your investment.
