Preparing Your Roof for Springtime Rain

Preparing Your Roof for Springtime Rain- Elite Roofing and ConsultingCaring for your roof is one of the most important things you can do for your home. Proper maintenance of a roof will prevent leaks and serious structural problems. However, most homeowners are not aware of how to check a roof, and many do not know what to look for when inspecting a roof. Hiring a Dallas roofing contractor is a great way to ensure your roof doesn’t have any problem areas that could increase the risk of leaks.

Check for Signs of Damage

One of the best ways to look for problems with your roof is by using a ladder to inspect around the roof and gutter system. Some of the things you need to look for include the following:

  • Missing or loose shingles
  • Ares of the roof with excessive water accumulation
  • Sagging areas of the roof
  • Detached gutters or downspouts
  • Overflowing water down the side of the home

Fixing the gutters may be a simple task of using a rubber mallet to secure the gutter nails back into place. If the home is older, you may need to replace the entire gutter system. Hiring a professional to inspect the gutters is a smart idea as they already have the tools needed to do the job correctly. A roofer in Dallas will be able to provide this service as part of their roof inspection.

The best time to inspect your roof is in the spring when the heavy storms have sufficed. Depending upon weather patterns, you will need to watch for severe thunderstorms that can bring tornado warnings and other concerns. Roofers need to check on your roof yearly, especially if there has been a windstorm in the area. If you have an older home, your roof will need to be inspected frequently to check for problems with the flashing. Older homes often have missing shingles, which leave a roof vulnerable to the elements. The sun can be as big of an issue as the rain will be if you have missing shingles on your roof. Call a commercial roofing in Dallas, TX, immediately to handle serious roofing problems.
