Common Storm Damage
If you’re unfamiliar with roofing inspections, it can be challenging to know what to look out for because the damage is not always obvious.
Here are a few common signs it’s time to call our experts:
• Ponding of water: Water should not hang around your roof. This may be because of a poor installation, or the storm has created a soft spot with a branch or water damage.
• Creased or uplifted roof: This is often caused by the rough winds during a storm that can bend, tear, break, or altogether remove your roof cover from your roof. Your roof cover is critical to waterproofing your property, so it’s essential that this gets fixed immediately.
• Fungal or mold growth: This is a sign of damage that is not often caught right away, but if you notice moisture collect on your roof, there is probably hidden mold as well. Mold creates poor indoor air quality and can further expose your roof to water damage.
• Flashing damage: Flashing is often found around the perimeter of the building, ac curbs, walls or vents that act as a waterproof channel to direct water away from a wall to the gutters or drains. If high winds break the seal holding the flashing to the roof, these areas can quickly become vulnerable to leaks.
