Summer can be a wonderful time of year for entertaining outside and enjoying your home to the fullest. As temperatures start to rise it’s important that you are keeping a proper eye on your roof. Regularly investigating your roof and catching the issues early on will help to make sure that you can prevent problems before they get worse.

Here are some of the main summer roofing problems that could come as a result of the conditions of the Florida summer:

Heat

The heat can often play a major role when it comes to the deterioration of roofing components. UV rays can quickly break down items like your shingles, if you start to notice the signs of breakage or dryness with your shingles it is important to have a roofing professional come out and assess the condition on your shingles and if it could be time for a replacement.

Humidity

The Florida humidity can also lead to moisture damage on your roof. If your roof is not properly ventilated this can often lead to moisture buildup which can cause damage to your structure or the chance that mold growth could occur.

Thunderstorm

A thunderstorm can be unpredictable but thunderstorms in Florida often bring high-speed winds, heavy rain, and hail. After any storm, it’s important to check the integrity of your roof and if you notice that shingles are missing, you may need a roofing inspection. Storm damage can often lead to shingles falling off and other types of debris. If you spot the signs of debris across your property, contact us immediately.
