Beautiful but dangerous

1/20/2022 (Permalink)

Its that time a year again where the rain and snow start to rear their beautiful but dangerous heads. Living in an area like Southeastern Idaho you have to really get yourself prepared to fight through the winter months. Not only can the weather be extremely unforgiving, but it can really take a toll on your home or commercial property.

One of the biggest tolls the stormy weather may take is right on top of your home or business. That’s right, your roof! The roof is usually the first thing to get hit and takes the brunt of the damage. If there are any areas on your roof that are less than stable, you may want to consider consulting with a professional so no further damage can be done. If water happens to seek through those not so sturdy spots in your roof it can lead to mold damage in the attack.

There are however ways to prepare your roof for the devastating winter months by taking a few simple steps.

• Remember that roof experts estimate that roofs can last between 20-25 years
• Check to see if your shingles are buckling, curling or missing
• Check if you roof has begun to droop or sag
• Check for chimney flashing
• And if possible, see if there is any daylight seeping through
