I live in a semi-tropical state which means I experience more than the average rainfall as well as storms each year, then the rainy season usually begins in May and can last all the way into November, and during this time, my buddy and I will see thunder and lightning storms, heavy downpours, hail, damaging winds, and more.
With all the storms that my buddy and I experience, I am constantly thinking about roofing disfigurements because my roof is being exposed to all these elements, then so, every year during the Spring, I check my roof to identify any disfigurements before the stormy season begins! For my Spring checklist, I officially start with cleaning out the gutter.
During the winter months, leaves and debris can gather inside the gutter which should be cleaned out to avoid any water leaks! Another task on my list includes checking the shingles to see if any are loose, cracked or curled up, then if there is any indication of roofing disfigurement, it should be taken care of immediately by a professional roofing business, other tasks might include trimming the trees or loose branches that are too close to the property or inspecting the attic for any water leaks or mold. It is so important to perform these simple checks each Spring because it can be used to identify roofing disfigurement. And the earlier a homeowner spots these roofing disfigurements, the less headaches they will have in the long run. And best of all, the roofing check doesn’t take a lot of time. The inspection can be done on those mornings when a homeowner begins to beautify their garden for the gorgeous Spring season.
