Preparing for Summer Roof Damage

Roof inspections are something that needs to be done at least once a year and most roofing experts recommend an inspection before each major season change- winter and summer. This is done to spot and correct issues before the coming season cause more damage. Summer roof damage is something we see a lot of here at Stay Dry Roofing, and if you need help with your Indianapolis roof inspections or repairs we are here for you!

Severe Storms

During the heat of the summer months, we forget at times how bad storms can be. This is especially true of the areas in and around Indianapolis. Storms bring wind, rain, hail, and debris- all which can damage your roofing system. The Wind can tear off shingles, rain can cause leaks, hail can damage the roof, and debris flying around can wreak havoc on any roof! We specialize in Indianapolis roof inspections and can help with any repairs so give us a call!

Extreme Heat and humidity

Summer is known for lots of sun, higher temperatures, and increased humidity. These can be annoying for us day in and day out, but they can also lead to summer roof damage. Heat and humidity can cause shingles and roofing materials to warp, bubble, or curl. Exposure to the rays of the sun can dry out roofing material and cause them to break and peel. This is why it is important to get a contractor experienced in Indianapolis roof inspections to look at your roof!

Hail

During severe storms, damaging balls of ice can fall from the sky and damage asphalt shingles. Other roofing materials can be broken and damaged as well. Large hail falls can leave splintered wood or even holes in your roof. The damage caused by hail can lead to major leaks and water damage which can cause mold and mildew and rotting wood. Letting this damage go untreated can cause weakening of the roofing system and failure of the roof as a whole.

High Winds

The Wind is a major force to be reckoned with and it can do a lot of damage to roofing systems.  At Stay Dry Roofing, many of our Indianapolis roof inspections are done after summertime storms. summer roof damage can occur in many varying levels of severity and much of it can be caused or made worse by high winds that come with most of our summer storms. Watching for signs of high wind damage following a storm helps keep the roof in good shape.
