Shingles, Nails, and Beyond

Hurricanes are destructive forces, and you have surely noticed the problems they produce in your area. Businesses and homes in your area may experience extreme roofing issues because of hurricanes.

So, what can a hurricane do to your business? These are just a few of the common issues your business may face as a result of extreme weather.

Wind Can Pick Up Shingles and Tiles

If your business has shingles or tiles, high winds can damage them. They can pick up shingles that are already damage and carry them away, leaving your business exposed to water and additional winds. When wind picks up parts of your roof, the shingles or tiles must be replaced or repaired.

Wind Can Splinter or Crack Shingles

Even if your shingles stay on the roof, your business can still experience significant damage that requires your roof to be repaired by a professional. Splinters and cracks allow water to enter the roof.

Water Damage Causes Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew can develop in the attic of your building if moisture works its way inside. Mold and mildew can develop quickly, and they can cause health issues in your employees and customers who come into contact with it.

Hail Damage Ruins Your Roof

Hurricanes may also involve hail, which beats against your roof in a torrential manner. It is important that you understand the risks of hail and act quickly to remedy the holes and dents that hail can leave.

Wind Makes Your Building Vulnerable to Leaks

When the wind takes away parts of your roof, whether they are shingles or pieces of flashing, your building is more susceptible to leaks. Your building could have leaks that impact your business, perhaps ruining merchandise or creating an aesthetic nuisance for your business.

Deal With Hurricane Roof Damage

Hurricane roof damage can be sneaky, so it is important that you inspect the roof for leaks right away, especially if you spot signs of damage (like shingles) on the ground. It is important that you deal with roof damage as quickly as possible to avoid these problems worsening and your roof growing significantly weaker, putting your business in danger.
