Causes of Roof Damage in Buffalo NY and Rochester NY
Weather Events
Weather events like hail, lightning strikes and powerful winds cause a lot of roof damage. Roofing shingles are often the first part of the roof that’s affected and the first visible sign that a roof inspection and roof repair are needed.
Trees and Power Poles
During major storms, roofs can suffer serious damage from fallen trees and power poles. The first action here is to protect the home with emergency roof tarping until a proper inspection and repairs can be performed.
Snow and Ice
Snow and ice are hard on roofs, especially when they’re allowed to build up and sit for long periods. Ice dams can deteriorate shingles. Melting snow and ice can harm the roof’s underlayment, decking and truss system.
Shoddy Roof Installation and Roof Repair
Lastly, poor workmanship in building the roof and bad roof repair practices can open the door for all sorts of damage to the roof structure and its materials.
