GET YOUR ROOF READY FOR THE RAINY SEASON

0

Your roof can be severely damaged by the rainy season, especially if it isn’t properly prepared. It is important to make sure your roof is properly maintained and repaired before it rains. It can be stressful and even dangerous to take on roof maintenance. We at Old Time Roofing know this. With a little preparation, your roof can withstand the rains.

We are experts in commercial and residential roofing. This checklist will help you prepare your roof for the rainy season. To ensure that your roof protects your home to the maximum extent, follow our checklist.

  1. Roof inspection. The first step in getting your roof ready to withstand the rainy season is to get a roof inspection. Roof problems can be difficult to see from the ground. A professional roofing company can inspect your roof. This will allow you to get a better idea of your roof’s condition and help you decide if repairs or replacement are necessary.
  2. Trees can be cut around your roof

Low-hanging trees that are near your roof should be trimmed as soon as possible. Strong storms can cause tree branches and roof damage by breaking off. The loose branches can cause damage to tiles and shingles, as well as clogging gutters.

  1. Get rid of your gutters

Clear your gutters so rainwater can flow freely. It is possible for water to build up on the roof’s gutters if they are clogged with debris. This can lead to roof water buildup, which can result in water damage and leaks.

  1. Make sure to check the flashing and vents

Water can easily get through flashing and vents. Make sure everything is in place. Also, make sure to check the sealant for dryness. It is important to have the sealant resealed if it has dried around the vents. Florida is a place where extreme temperatures can occur, which can lead to pipes and vents expanding and contracting, making it more difficult for water to pass through.

  1. Check your skylights

Make sure the skylights have been properly sealed and are properly in place. This is another area where water can enter and cause interior damage.
