Hurricane Season & Roofing

Hurricanes can take a huge toll on your roofing. Unfortunately, and especially if you live in an area where hurricanes are more prevalent, this can destroy your roofing material, and because of this, there are absolutely a few additional things you will want to do to be proactive before the hurricane to ensure that you are covered. Let’s take a look at some of the things that you will want to focus on today.

Roof Inspection

Roof inspections are the most crucial aspect about hurricane season because this can have a direct effect on your home. The roofing contractor on your job will do many things including checking for the following:

• Moisture
• Molds
• Loose Shingles
• Leaks
• Cracked Caulk

Gutters

You will want to make sure that your gutters are always cleared out. This is because when hurricanes come around, there is typically a lot of rain, which can get stuck in the gutters, and therefore cause things such as water damage, and even some more serious issues, such as mold and deterioration of the roofing material.

Insurance

One of the things you will want to make sure that you have is insurance for your home and even potentially for your roof, which will ensure that if you have damage, it will be fixed and you won’t be having problems paying exorbitant amounts.
