Summer Storm Damage: What Nassau & Suffolk County Residents Need to Know
In Nassau and Suffolk County, NY, summers are amazing, thanks, in large part, to the lovely weather, which affords plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful nature that abounds; however, it isn’t always sunshine and roses, especially when unexpected and powerful storms blow in. Heavy rains and high winds can significant damage to your home – especially the roof. Spotting and fixing roof damage early as soon as possible can save you a lot of hassle down the road. In this blog post, we share our expert tips to help you detect and correct summer storm damage.
Spotting Roof Damage After a Storm
After a storm, taking the time to inspect your roof for damage is imperative. Check for shingles, which can leave your roof exposed to further damage. Additionally, look for any dents or cracks in the shingles that can weaken and jeopardize the ability to protect your home. If you spot any debris on your roof, such as leaves or sticks, there’s a chance that damage could be hiding underneath. Water spots on your ceilings and wall is another sign to look for, as these spots can indicate a leak in your roof that requires immediate attention. It’s important to note that even seemingly minor leaks should be addressed, as neglecting them could result in bigger problems in the future.
