Your Roof Is Being Targeted in 2017: Hidden Threats Ohio Homeowners Overlook
Your roof is being targeted every day — by Mother Nature’s relentless elements. From bitter cold and ice in winter to torrential rain in spring, extreme heat in summer, and high winds in fall — your roof is being targeted by weather that can cause leaks, damage, and costly repairs. Watch the video above — Corey Thrush from Thrush & Son® explains why this is occurring to your roof and how to fight back.
Winter Threats:
The bitter cold, snow, and ice is targeting your homes roof. Heavy snow accumulation can strain structures, while ice dams form when heat escapes and melts snow that refreezes at the edges. This can eventually lead to leaks, water damage, and rot. Maintenance is key — clear snow and ensure proper ventilation to stop your roof from being targeted by winter woes.
Spring Threats:
Torrential rain and downpours are a threat not only to your roof, but the inside of your home. Clogged gutters cause overflow, water backs up under shingles, and leaks start. These issues can lead to mold, wood rot, and interior damage. Clean gutters twice a year — spring and fall — to prevent your roof from being targeted by water intrusion.
Summer Threats:
The extreme heat in the Summer months are targeting your homes roof. High temperatures cause shingles to expand, crack, and lose granules. Your roof is being targeted, reducing lifespan and efficiency. Proper attic ventilation keeps heat from building up — Thrush & Son® installs ridge vents and soffit intakes to fight this.
Fall Threats:
Your roof is being targeted by high winds from thunderstorms. Loose shingles lift, branches fall, and damage spreads. Your roof is being targeted, leading to leaks and costly fixes. Inspect for loose materials and trim trees to protect your roof from being targeted by wind.
