Is Your Roof Ready for the Next Storm? 7 Things Braselton Homeowners Should Check
Living in Northeast Georgia means homeowners need to be prepared for changing weather conditions. Heavy rain, strong winds and hail can put stress on your roofing system.
A recent National Weather Service severe thunderstorm warning for the Braselton area included 60-mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail, with the NWS specifically noting the potential for wind damage to roofs, siding and trees.
So how do you know if your roof is ready?
Check These 7 Things:
1. Missing shingles.
Look for areas where shingles may have been blown away.
2. Curling or damaged shingles.
Shingles that are cracked, curling or buckling may be more vulnerable to weather.
3. Damaged flashing
Check around chimneys, vents and roof penetrations.
4. Ceiling stains
Brown or discolored spots may indicate water intrusion.
5. Granules in your gutters
Excessive shingle granules can indicate deterioration.
6. Sagging areas
Visible sagging should be evaluated by a professional.
7. Tree branches touching your roof
Branches can scrape roofing materials and become dangerous during strong winds.
Don't Wait for the Leak
A roof doesn't always announce a problem by leaking immediately. Damage can occur before water becomes visible inside the home.
