Protect Your Roof from Summer Storms with Munz Construction

August 8th, 2019

We usually forget about summer storms until they’re happening right outside our windows. Although they can be exciting to watch, the billowing winds and bending trees can take a severe toll on your home. Tree branches can fall onto your home and torrential rains can harm and damage your home’s roof. Roofs are meant to protect your home, but when they aren’t in the best condition, they won’t be able to get the job done.

At Munz Construction, we don’t just provide top-rated roof services for Richboro and the surrounding areas. We’re also the go-to source for homeowners looking to make the most of their house and property. Let’s take a look at some tips on maintaining your roof all summer long in the infographic below, and then continue reading for more detail:

Clear Out Your Gutters

Investigating your gutters is essential in maintaining your roof. Debris like leaves and sticks from storms can block your gutters and cause unnecessary clogs. Clearing out the space ensures that water can freely flow through the gutters and off your roof. If water is backed up in your gutters, it can ruin your shingles, so be sure to keep your gutters clean and free from any obstructions!

 

Inspect Your Shingles

Powerful winds can damage the shingles of your roof, causing them to crack, curl, or sag. The winds from a storm can even remove the shingles completely, so take the time to inspect them. Stand a reasonable distance away from your house to fully see the roof of your home. Look for any missing or odd-looking shingles, or anything else that seems out of place. If your roof is not protecting your home, the interior of your house will have to face the consequences.

Be Aware of Moss or Mold

The presence of moss or mold on a roof indicates that there’s too much moisture on a roof’s surface. As a result, this moisture creates moss, which can cause the wood beneath your roof to decay. The roof of your home should be in excellent condition all year round, especially when the weather is particularly harsh, so check out your roof for any signs of mold or other issues.
