How Extreme Weather Can Damage Your Roof
As roof contractors in Georgia, we have seen first-hand the damage extreme weather conditions can do to roofs in the area. Roof repairs are often needed after one of Macon’s really hot summers or most recently very cold winters. Your roof is exposed to all the brutalities of the weather and therefore it is important to ensure your roof is in good condition to avoid damage. A common assumption is that it is the wind, rain and snow which leads to roof repairs being needed but extreme heat can be just as damaging.
Here in Macon, we have seen every kind of extreme weather condition and as roofing contractors Georgia we know the damage it can cause! When it rains, it pours, and roof repairs are frequently needed to repair the damaged caused by storms. Water will find any weakness in your roof structure and find its way into your building causing external and internal damage. Heavy rains will weaken shingles and other elements of a roof so to avoid roof repairs, you need to ensure your roof is not only strong enough to cope with the downpours but be sure there is no existing damage for the rain to exploit.
A long with our heavy rainfall, the recent cold winters we have experienced also pose a risk to your roof. We might get hot summers, but Georgia can also have the coldest of winters which is why it is important to ensure your roof is ready for all conditions. Snowfall, along with the risk of ice dams (a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow from draining off the roof) can also lead to roof repairs being needed. Your roof needs to be strong enough to withstand the cold and the snow if and when that happens.
The sun and extreme heat can cause just as much damage as cold weather conditions. Here in Macon, I’m sure you are all too familiar, temperatures can reach over 90°F in the summer months which can lead to an increase in roof repairs. Exposure to extreme heat can cause your roof to dry out. This can cause the asphalt shingles to buckle with the heat. In addition, roof repairs in Georgia are often needed where the heat has caused the wooden roof structure to shrink or weaken.
