Is Your Austin, Texas Home In Need Of Roof Repair?

What can damage roofs in Austin?

The Austin environment can be particularly hard on roofs, which must endure the constant assault of the elements. The searing Texas sun bakes roofs, causing them to expand in the heat. As roofing materials expand, they often warp, crack, or chip. High winds from thunderstorms and the occasional tornado can loosen roofing materials or even rip them off entirely. High humidity levels provide the ideal environment for algae and fungus, both of which can hasten a roof’s deterioration. Termites and other wood-eating insects thrive in Austin’s warm climate and can destroy wooden shingles and support beams. Lightning and fire and burn and scorch roofs.

Can roof maintenance protect my roof?

Routine roof maintenance is essential if you wish to keep your roof functioning properly for as long as possible. With the exception of certain isolated incidents such as falling branches or fires, most roof damage develops slowly as a result of elemental exposure. This means that most serious issues can be identified before any damage spreads to the inside of you home. 1-800-Roofcare recommends that all homeowners have their roofs inspected by a professional contractor at least twice a year. These inspections will allow you to resolve potential roofing issues before they become more serious, saving your roof and the rest of your home from additional damage. There are a number of other routine maintenance procedures which can slow the deterioration of your roof, including debris clearing, washing, and algae removal. Although roof maintenance will not be able to extend the life of your roof indefinitely, it can add several years to its usable life.
