Every season has its challenges for homeowners and depending on where you live these challenges peak at different times of the year. Here at Providence Roofing with home base in North Carolina, our Winters are mild compared to other parts of the country, but our Summers can be brutal. Five minutes outside and you’re bound to break a sweat, so just imagine the beating your roof is taking. To ensure your roof remains in good condition this Carolina Summer, we recommend taking these steps to take care of your roof.
Prep Your Roof From the Inside Out
Your home’s overall ventilation, roofing material, and insulation work together to keep your home cool during the warmer season.
Have you ever compared electricity bills year over year? Is your Summer electricity bill getting higher and higher each year? Yes, part of it is probably due to price increases, but it could also be because something is off with your A/C or ventilation system. If your A/C is having to work harder to keep your home cool this year than it was last year, it is worth looking into. After all, any ventilation problems that cause heat damage could significantly affect the lifespan of your roof.
Be on the lookout for attic stains new or old along with musty smells. Addressing holes and leaky areas of your roof is not only important for proper insulation but also to prevent further water damage and keep critters out of your house. When it comes to frequent visitors, squirrels, birds, and bats are the most common critters that will make their way into attics. Fix that hole now and you won’t have to worry about them making their way into your home this Summer!
Evaluate the Condition of Your Roof Safely
We want to assure you that the safety of our clients always remains a top priority. Call us, please don’t attempt to inspect your roof. We are trained in safety and have the proper knowledge and equipment to keep ourselves and your property safe.
As mentioned previously, Summer brings high temperatures and especially humid conditions in North Carolina. That combined with the frequent midday showers creates an environment for algae, moss, and mold to grow on the surface of your roof. Signs of damage that one might be able to safely identify from the ground or from an attic include holes, leaks, water stains, missing shingles, and clogged gutters or drains. The next time you’re outside, take a quick look. Do you notice any shingles missing from the ground?
