Seasonal Changes and Roof Maintenance

Posted on August 26, 2022 at 9:45 AM Comments comments (23)

As we wrap up another hot dry summer, homeowners should be aware of the upcoming seasonal changes. Hot and dry summers affect your roof in many ways.The hot dry summer months will cause sealants to become dry and brittle. As the season begins to change rapid tepurature swings of warm and cool weather causes expansion and contraction of joints and seams that can cause issues. The expansion can cause brittle sealants to break free from their bonding surface and cause leaks. Just as your automobiles tire pressure and battery conections should be checked this time of year , it would be a good idea to have you roof checked over as well.

Severe storms , High Winds and Hail

Last Friday night a line of severe storms came through our area. High winds and hail peppered everything in its path. Leaves covered everything for miles around . Many gutters became clogged with the leaves that were ripped from the trees. when your gutters get clogged you may experience such things as overflown water that backs into the wood fascia board  leaking out of the soffit overhang , also the debris can clog the drain spout and  cause unwanted water to run down the siding causing mold and mildew stains as well as foundation problems if not corrected . Hail damage can also cause an array of problems on your home. roofs pelted with hail can cause shingles to loose their protective granules and tin roofs to loose their protective coatings as well . Vinyl siding is also susceptible to hail , it will punch holes right through it allowing water to enter your home leading to mold and rot problems. Have Lee Smith master roof mechanic come to inspect your roofing, siding and gutters for storm damage.

Did you know that the average pipe boot last about 10 - 12 years on average before failing. Considering that the average shingle roof last about  25- 30 years, that means that your pipe boots will have to be changed out at least once in your roofs lifetime.
