Regular Inspections and Maintenance
A roof needs regular inspections and maintenance in order for it to operate in its max capacity. Even if you don’t see any obvious signs of damage, we highly recommend that you get it inspected by professional after a storm. Most times, you can’t see the damage from the ground. And climbing on top of your roof without much prior experience is dangerous.
That’s what First Out Roofing is here for. Our professional inspectors will get on your roof and evaluate it. There are certain issues that aren’t visible to a normal homebuyer or business owner, but we can catch it on the spot. Our team is trained to look out for these signs and prevent the issues from getting out of hand. Let\’s save you time and money by avoiding extensive roofing projects.
What Does Common Hail Damage Look Like?
Hail falls at an irregular pattern, so if you see random small round divots across your roof, you are most likely dealing with hail damage. This weather condition also causes your roof to lose granules. They collect in gutters and downspouts and your roof felt will be exposed. Other damages include hail hits that are soft to the touch or black in color. Hail causes your mat or asphalt on your roof to appear shiny.
How to Prepare for the Hail Season
There are many steps you can take to fortify your roof for the spring. For example, trimming branches that are near your roof is a great start. These branches can fall on your roof during a hail storm and cause dents or holes in the roof. This leads to leaks, and pests can crawl inside through the openings.
Another tip is to clean out your gutters. Since granules are commonly found inside them when it hails, you need to make sure that they don’t pile up and block the flow of water. Water buildup is very bad for your roofing system and can cause mold and mildew to form.
When you get a roofing company to inspect your property, they can decide the best course of action to get it ready for the hail season. There’s no need to make guesses and take chances, let’s secure your roof the right way.
