Here in this post, we will cover what you should look for to make sure your roof is prepared for the heavy rains of Spring:

Missing Shingles

Heavy rain storms may wreak havoc on the roof of your home. You might awake and see shingles everywhere. You will see them in the front yard. You will see them in the backyard. You will see them on the neighbor’s lawn. You will see them every place except for where they ought to be: on the roof. Missing roof shingles are an indication that the roof isn’t prepared for the spring months, and that it’s in immediate need of repair.

Deteriorating Shingles

Shingles may deteriorate, and leave your roof exposed. Over a period of time, the shingles on your roof may break and chip. You might see pieces close to the spouts of your rain gutters.

Curling Roof Shingles

High winds can blow against the shingles of your roof, and they carry debris and sticks along with them. All these things cause roof shingles to bubble or curl, making them more prone to flying off. Once shingles on the roof fly off, your house is susceptible to leaks, leading to mold, mildew, or worse.

Clogged Gutters

Gutters are a vital part of the roof, and critical for correct storm water drainage. If the rain gutters get clogged, storm water can’t flow through them. The rain gutters are going to overflow, possibly causing leaks to the roof or damage to the foundation. Cleaning out the rain gutters before storm season is an excellent method of ensuring that damage doesn’t occur.

With a roof that is prepared for spring, it is possible to avoid expensive replacement or repair down the line. If your home’s roof does experience damage from storms, let the professionals at Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair help.
