The delightful long days and warm nights of summer are what most people think of when June and July appear each year. Sadly, that is not the whole picture. Summer can also bring high humidity and furious battering storms. Intense rain, thunderstorms, and driving winds can be destructive, so here are a few tips that may help you protect your home against these violent forces of nature.
Possible Roof Damage
When the winds are tearing at your home and the thunderstorm sounds like it is battering at your windows, you want to know your roof is safe and secure. So, inspect your home’s roof twice a year, and again after any unusually severe storm. Look for cracked, buckled, torn, or missing shingles. Also look for damaged flashing, cracked chimneys, and broken eaves. If you find any damage, calling an expert for prompt roof repair can help keep your home secure against the next big storm and can save you a lot of money. Additionally, if you live in a hurricane zone, check with your roofing professional about hurricane straps or roof clips. It just may keep your roof from blowing off in the next big gales.
Probable Water Leaks
Gutters and downspouts require yearly maintenance and inspection after each storm. Clear gutters of all foreign articles twice a year and after each windy tempest. This can prevent water from building up and leaking into your home’s siding or foundation. Downspouts can easily be dented or their position altered by wind-blown debris and that too can cause water to pour against your home’s foundation and do serious damage. Inspect downspout bolts and straps, and make sure they are securely connected to gutters. Also check the water runoff path and clear it of rubble.
