A storm can cause different types of damage to a roof that range from barely noticeable to severe. It doesn`t matter how important or unimportant it might seem; do not ignore it! Repairing storm damage is essential for the efficiency and lifespan of the roof.
How a minor puncture can be so dangerous?
First, there is no such thing as “minor puncture” when it comes to a roof. Any little roof problem has the potential to aggravate very quickly because of the roof`s exposure to the elements and severe weather. Therefore, be very-very happy if you only find a minor puncture on your roof after a storm, because it can be quickly and easily repaired before it transforms into a disaster.
A small crack, a few shingle granules spread in the gutters, a few dents in the metallic elements – all these seen harmless, but actually represent roof vulnerabilities that must not be ignored. Water finds its way in very quickly and once it does, it is very hard to stop. It will keep infiltrating, eroding the roof`s structure, compromising the insulation, penetrating walls and causing mold formation, altering the indoor thermal comfort, destroying objects, causing short circuits etc. For storm damage to the exterior of your home, contact local professionals at https://www.roofonemichigan.com/shelby-township-roofing-experts-roof-one-llc.html.
