Three Essential Roof Repair Issues to Watch Out for During Summer
It is starting to look more like the summer season in Indianapolis. This means lots of time in the sun - with the exception of the occasional storm. You might not be worried about your roof at this time.
In the end, there's no snow that can cause ice dams, no falling leaves to block your eavestroughs, no spring maintenance to be done. It's summer, and you're certainly not the only one who doesn't need to think about your roof.
Unfortunately, roofs are not permitted to go on summer vacations. They protect us from the sun, storms, and falling crabapples. This means there are some important things to consider - problems that might require repairs to the roof.
Cracked, dried out, shingles
The initial issue is rooted in what could be the most beneficial season - summer's heat. As the hot sun bears down on asphalt shingles they can begin to dry out. This is particularly true when your attic isn't well insulated - the heat could get trapped and the attic and roof become hotter and hotter.
This causes shingles to break. Cracked shingles can lead to roof leaks and roof leaks lead to all sorts of issues which we'll address in a bit.
Sometimes you can detect cracked shingles by looking at the ground. If there have been several extremely hot days over the course of a few weeks, and your attic is sweltering hot it is time to call us. roofing contractors in Indianapolis look over your roof to find any deteriorated shingles and offer you tips for insulation.
Summer storm damaged
We're all aware of the damage hail and gale force winds cause to our homes. Your roof protects your home from the worst of this force. Couple this with the huge branches and other debris that may be thrown into your roof and you'll get the perfect storm (pun intended) for roof damage.
You should always check your roof for damage following the ravages of a storm. If you aren't able to see any issues, it's a good idea to contact the roofing company to perform an inspection. It is best practice not to use the same roofing service that has checked your roof following the storm to make repairs. This can assist you in avoiding conflicts of interest.
Plant growth
The problems of plant growth take on two forms: the plants that grow on your roof, and plants that develop around your roof.
Your roof might become damp and hot in the summer and let algae, moss, and mold flourish. They can be removed by a skilled roofer. If they're allowed to grow, they may cause damage to roofs and also add weight.
