Climate can have a tremendous impact on the condition of your roof, and you’ll find that residents of different states struggle with unique roofing problems. Raleigh receives plenty of rain but is also known for being warm and sunny for much of the year.
We don’t get snow, but the heavy rain and relentless sunshine can also do some severe damage to your roof. So, it’s always essential to have a regular maintenance schedule to ensure that your roof stays in peak condition.
Roof Leaks
One of the most common problems homeowners have with their roof is leaks. Leaks occur no matter the type of roofing material you have, and water damage can be incredibly costly. It is difficult to repair, so it is essential you address any leaks as soon as you spot them.
Leaks usually happen in between the joints of a roof, for instance, between two sloped sections or between the roofing and chimney. These areas usually don’t form a complete seal, allowing water to seep through. Luckily, joint leaks are simple to fix, especially if caught early enough.
Weather Damage
Roofs are usually the first part of the home to be damaged in the event of a storm or other inclement weather. Many of us tend to brush off minor storms, without realizing the potential damage these events have on the roof of our home. Small amounts of weather damage can eventually accumulate into more significant problems.
Storms can start to loosen shingles, allowing wind to get under them and eventually blow them off. It creates a larger problem, as the entire roof becomes more vulnerable to weather damage and leaks. That’s why it’s a good idea always to check your roof regularly to identify any small problems before they escalate into major ones.
Worn Out Flashing
Flashing is used to provide an additional layer of protection where water tends to accumulate on your roof; including, holes, such as vents and chimneys. Flashing is used no matter what other roofing material you have, and it’s traditionally made of steel since it’s durable and water-resistant.
Since flashing has the tough job of protecting your roof, however, it’s usually one of the first things to wear down, causing roof leaks and other issues. It’s crucial to do regular inspections to ensure the flashing is still in good shape, replacing it with new material when it’s starting to show wear and tear.
No matter how durable the material you used in the construction of your roof, it is still susceptible to damage from weather or normal wear and tear. It’s wise to have a regular inspection schedule with our trusted roofing professionals in Raleigh to ensure that your roof is in excellent working condition. Depending on the roofing material, you may not need to perform maintenance regularly. It should at least be checked annually for any signs of damage that need to be addressed.
