The harsh Texas weather at times causes a great deal of stress on your home and your roof that Fort Worth Roofing Companies know quite well. Here are a few examples of damage that a roof will likely experience at some point in time from the Texas climate.
Wind Damage
Potent winds can blow roofing material off of a home or building. It’s not simply shingles that are harmed, but rather the felt and sheathing underneath that protects the structure. Trees near and above a roof can cause damage from the impact of falling limbs. Conduct a roof inspection at least once per year to ensure there is no residual damage left from the wind that will require a Fort Worth roof repair professional.
Water Damage
Heavy rains leading to roof runoff can destroy a guttering system, downspouts, and eaves when they become more intense than your guttering system can handle. This additional water puts added stress on the flashing, which is the material used over joints on the roof to prevent water from entering and causing damage.
Hail Storms
Hail can often break skylights and windows in addition to damaging shingles. Hailstorms are extremely hard on a roof and weaken their integrity and lifespan. An inspection should be performed after a hailstorm regardless of the roofing system installed, preferably by a professional Fort Worth Roofer.
Professional Inspection
Its common for the untrained eye to overlook small details and potential problems, even if you have the ability to access your rooftop to make a visual evaluation. Don’t allow the Texas weather to bring damage to your home or building, call a professional roofing contractor to perform an inspection and protect your investment.
