It’s important that your home be ready for this ever-changing weather and storm proof your roof. In the Midwest you never know when the weather will turn. One minute it could be sunny and nice and the next it could be rainy and windy. After all, your roof is the first line of defense against storms.
To help storm proof your roof…
- Get your roof inspected. During the inspection the professional roofer will check the shingle conditions, flashing is secure, gutters and downspouts are connected and making sure the attic is dry and not showing any signs of leaks.
- Make sure your roof decking and support structures are reinforced and secure. You can do this by inspecting the roof decking, replacing any weak or rotted wood and evaluate the trusses and supports.
- Inspect your gutters and downspouts. Make sure they are clean and water can flow easy and unobstructed.
Storm-proofing your home is essential in the Midwest. By having regular inspections and maintenance; you can help protect your home from storm-related damage.
Staying informed of weather forecasts and warnings will also help you. Watch the local news or invest in a weather radio or weather app to receive real-time updates. Staying prepared and staying up to date on weather conditions will help keep you, your family and your home as safe and possible during the storm seasons.
