Hurricane-force wind, torrential rain, hail, extreme heat, and intense UV exposure are all things your roof will face throughout the year in Texas — Which is why you want to have an Irving roofing contractor you can rely on and trust to inspect, repair, and replace it when the time comes.
The 2019 spring and summer storm season was no exception and brought damage to many homes across the entire United States. The main thing homeowners should know is that roof damage is not always seen from the ground. All of these vicious weather events can damage your roof and cause your roof to start leaking which is not something you want to happen or deal with.
Can You Identify The Symptoms of Damage to Your Irving Roofing System?
Storm Damage Warning Symbols:
In some cases, the signals of roof damage are rather obvious. For instance, you may have water spots on your ceiling or curling, broken, or missing shingles. You may detect flashing that is not sealed, moisture on the walls, or water damage in your basement or on your home’s exterior.
What You Should Look Out For:
- Shingle Vitality – Missing shingles is one symbol of visible evidence, however, pay close consideration for excessive granular loss to the shingles and early evidence of damage. Hail storms regularly create blemishes and holes in asphalt shingles and are often incorporated in your homeowners’ insurance coverage.
- Missing Flashing – On the edges of the roofline and around the base of all skylights, chimneys, pipes, air conditioners, and additional rooftop appliances.
- Degraded Caulk & Roofing Adhesives – Located on the similar penetration points that flashing is used on.
- Water Damage – Inside the attic or on the ceilings and walls within your home.
