Tips on Installing Emergency Roofing Midsouth Roof Consultants
The roof plays an important role in a house or a building in terms of aesthetics and protection. • The purpose of a roof is to protect the dwellers from climatic conditions and if it isn’t up to par, your roof ceases to serve as a barrier against snow, hail, rain, and other natural hazards like falling tree branches, etc. • Your residential roofing system should always remain in top form throughout the seasons. • Choose an experienced local professional roofing company for your project because your roof is a large and complicated system to protect your interior and you need someone who can do the job right for you.
Weather Related Damages • Wind Damage • Hailstorm Damage • Water Damage
Wind Damage • Winds are one of the most common causes of roof damage in residential and commercial structures. After a heavy windstorm, check on the exterior of your home for the following: • Damage depending on your roof type: • All Shingle Roofs: Missing, cracked, or curling shingles. • Composition Shingles: Granule buildup in gutters . • Wood Shingles or Shakes: Rotting and mold. • Flat Roofs: Cracks, tears, or surface wrinkles.
Hailstorm Damage Hail damage is easy to detect and easy to see, it can dent your siding or even shatter your windows. Hail damage usually causes the following damage to your home’s roof: • Missing Shingles: Look for gaps in the pattern or pieces of exposed roof. • Damaged Shingles: Check for shingles on your roof that are curled, buckling, dented, or cracked. • Build-up in gutters and downspouts that have collected loose asphalt granules.
Water Damage • Missing or broken shingles from hail and wind damage can be quickly identified, but the effects of water damage can take longer to detect. • Untreated water damage and leaks can lead to mold, which can affect your home’s foundation and structure.
Tips:- Safety First! • Don't step on the roof in the middle of the storm. Making repairs while facing heavy rains and strong winds is not worth the risk. • In fact, you should avoid going up the roof as much as possible to prevent accidents such as slipping and avoid further damaging your roof. • Make sure that the ladder is firmly anchored on level ground. • For extra measure use equipment such as a strong safety harness or belt secured by a lifeline and attach it to a stable fixture. • Choose to wear sturdy boots with a good grip to avoid slipping off the roof, but still be careful with your footing at all times.
Use Roofing Cement • Roofing cement or putty are your best friends for a variety of temporary roofing repairs. • It's the quickest way to stop a roofing leak temporarily, and it's easy to use. Covering the damage • In on event where the damage becomes extensive, attempting repairs wouldn't be wise. • Instead, you can cover the damages with tarpaulin or a plastic sheet to provide a dry and stable interior for you and your family to live in.
Release Water • If water is leaking into the ceiling the damage could pose severe situation. • The water would need to be released quickly and cautiously. • You can drill a small hole in the ceiling to allow the water to drain. • This would allow you to control the leak and prevent the water from pooling and cause the ceiling to collapse.
KEEP IN MIND • Temporary repairs are not a substitute for any repairs that a roofing contractor could do. • The point of these temporary repairs is to minimize further damages. • Don't forget to contact a professional contractor as soon as the storm has subsided.
