Is Your Sarasota Roof Ready for Summer? Summer-Proof It With These 3 Crucial Tips

Is Your Sarasota Roof Ready for Summer Summer-Proof It With These 3 Crucial Tips

Owning a house in Sarasota is beautiful, but it’s also a great responsibility where you have to think in advance. And homeowners in this area especially must learn how to stay prepared. 

Over the last 20 years, the county has declared 35 disasters, mostly related to hurricane incidents. Even though big hurricanes aren’t that common, summer thunderstorms are standard in this part of Florida.

You can’t control the weather, though. The only thing you can do is keep your home in good shape. These tips will ensure you sleep better this summer, even during the worst storms. Read on!

 

Look For Damaged and Missing Shingles

When it comes to your home and roofing systems, they deal with a lot of wind, rain, and sun throughout the year. And if there are any imperfections, the roof can’t survive intact.

Of course, even the most caring Sarasota homeowners can’t prepare their roofs for severe conditions. But you can’t let disasters make you give up on everything. You can check your roof for missing shingles every couple of months and after every storm. That’s easy to notice, even from the ground.

The next step should be to take a closer look. Look for bent, cracked, or in any way damaged shingles. You’d need binoculars or a drone, as walking on your roof isn’t recommended.

 

Inspect Flashings and Drip Edges

Summers in Sarasota, FL, aren’t just hot. Things get wet. Every day is humid, and the winds can get strong.

That’s why it’s essential to waterproof your house. While inspecting your shingles, you’re in a perfect position to check the elements of the roof most likely to leak, most importantly flashing.

Rusted or cracked flashings are basically a highway for water. Once water finds a way in, it becomes difficult to show it a way out.

For the same reason, look closely at drip edges. They’re responsible for leading rain from your roof to the gutters. If the water doesn’t end up in the gutters, your house can turn into a waterfall. And that’s not as cool as it sounds.

 

Clean Your Gutters

The common cause of water problems in Sarasota, FL, is the gutter system, i.e., a malfunctioning gutter system. People remember the whole roof, but many forget the system that takes the water away from their homes. So, make sure to clean your gutters at least twice per year. If there are many trees around you, do it more often.

There are a couple of ways to clean the gutters from the ground. You can use a hose or a nozzle for a leaf blower. If you want to see if everything is clean, climb a ladder and give it a closer look.

Again, we don’t recommend climbing on your roof to clean gutters or do anything else. But if you want to be 100% sure your roof is summer-proofed, let the roofing Sarasota FL company do the inspection. Just give Chappelle Roofing a call, and we’ll take care of you!
