While the weather’s good make sure your roof’s ship-shape ready for what comes with hurricane’s, tornadoes, windstorms and all that arrives in our Southeast Texas summer, fall, and even the next winter.
What are some of those things to do?
One of the first things to do is to clean out your gutters and downspouts. Get rid of leaves, debris, and blockages to ensure proper water flow. Clogged gutters can lead to water pooling, which can damage the roof and potentially cause leaks.
Next, check for damaged or missing shingles. Replace any damaged or loose ones promptly to maintain the integrity of your roof. This step is crucial in preventing water from seeping into the underlying layers, which can result in leaks and structural damage.
You also need to ensure proper insulation and ventilation. Consider adding insulation to your attic to prevent air conditioning and heat from escaping through the roof. Additionally, ensure that your attic has proper ventilation to allow for the escape of moisture, reducing the risk of condensation and mold growth.
Now is a good time to trim branches that overhang your roof. They can cause a significant risk to your roof during windstorms, hurricanes, and all the bad weather on the way. Branches can break and fall onto your roof, causing damage and potential leaks. Trim back any branches that are too close to your roof, ensuring a safe distance between trees and your home.
