IS YOUR ROOF SUFFERING FROM THESE SUMMERTIME
PROBLEMS?

• While its certainly true that problems with your
  roof can occur at any time of the year, some
  issues are more seasonal than others, and when
  the mercury rises, it can bring its own set of
  roofing concerns.
• With high temperatures, and your roof exposed to
  many hours of continuous sun, your roof could
  soon begin suffering from the following
  summertime problems, all of which require a
  timely response to minimize damage and the
  potential for costly repairs
• A buildup of moisture
• When moisture thats built up on a roof isnt
  spotted and dealt with swiftly (and
  professionally, of course), it can soon cause it
  to rust and deteriorate, and even the smallest of
  leaks can quickly become worrisome, dangerous and
  costly.

• Condensation
• Summer storms with heavy rains and high winds,
  when combined with temperatures of 100 degrees
  and more, often causes condensation to form on a
  roof, and when this is allowed to build up, it
  can get heavy and begin to weigh the roof
  dangerously down. Naturally, this can cause a lot
  of damage to a roof and should it be left
  unrepaired for weeks or months, it could pose a
  significant risk for the inhabitants of the
  property, not to mention, anyone or anything in
  the vicinity.

• Damaged flashing
• When a roof is constantly exposed to the sun, as
  it often is during the long, summer months, its
  flashing can become damaged, which subsequently
  increases the rate at which the roof heats up.
  When this happens, its almost impossible to
  prevent mold from forming on the top of the roof,
  and flashing that has been seriously damaged, can
  melt and cause all sorts of problems.
• An overheated attic
• Attics can be hot spaces at the best of times,
  but during summertime, they can get overheated
  very quickly and cause mold to form on the inside
  of the roof, due to the high levels of humidity.

• Damage from moss
• When moss and algae build up on a roof they can
  cause significant moisture damage, and over time
  when left untreated it can make the wood
  under your roofing material rot and even erode.
  Unfortunately, when moss is left to grow unabated
  on a roof, it simply becomes more difficult, and
  expensive, to get rid of.
• All of these issues can become costly and
  significant repair jobs if left untreated for
  weeks or months (or even days if the problem is
  severe), and if you spot signs of any of them
  whether its during the summer months or any
  other time of year its best to get them
  reviewed and repaired by a professional roofing
  company as soon as possible.
