Hurricane season is here, and if you live in or near the Tomball area, this is evident by the rise in wind and rainstorms we have experienced lately in the greater Houston metropolitan area. Chances are, with these weather conditions, your roof has sustained some damage. If this Tomball roof damage is left unaddressed, you have no defense against the tropical storms and hurricanes awaiting us. Remember, this Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be an active one, so here are some repairs you may need before a storm hits.
Common Tomball Roof Repairs After a Rainstorm
Tomball Roof Shingle Damage
Your shingles are the outermost component of your roof, so naturally, they are the first to take damage. The winds may cause yard decor and furniture to blow across your roof, causing the granules on your shingles to chip. If your house got affected by hail damage that accompanied any of these storms, the hailstones may have also caused your shingle granules to chip off. If your shingles are missing some granules, this means your roof has been compromised and the underlying layer will take further damage. This is why it’s imperative to take proper precautions to ensure the safety and integrity of your Houston roof.
If you haven’t done any Tomball roof repairs in a while, then your roof shingles may very well be exhibiting buckling, sagging, or cracking. If your roof is this weakened, it will likely not be able to offer much (if any) protection against hurricanes or tropical storms.
Tomball Chimney Flashing Roof Repairs
Lawn decor, furniture, and hail may also affect your chimney flashing, causing dents and dings. If this is the case, it’s easier for the rain to make its way through your chimney and roof, causing leaks that may become devastating.
