Winter is The Prime Season for Roof Damage, Says Piedmont Disaster Services

With winter fast approaching, roofing damage is more likely thanks to cold temperatures and increased precipitation. Piedmont Disaster Services in Columbia, South Carolina, advises customers to check for signs of damage after every storm.

As winter approaches, concerned homeowners are preparing for any damage inclement weather may bring. Most people are aware of the hazard snow, sleet and hail can present to windows, garage doors and outdoor structures, such as sheds and gazebos. But the roof of your home is another area that is highly susceptible to property damage. When high winds combine with chunks of snow and ice, or frozen rain, it takes almost no time at all for the roof to get dented and damaged.

One of the easiest forms of roof damage to spot with the naked eye is water damage, which typically appears within the home. Water damages can appear as wet spots on the walls or ceiling, but it can also be less obvious. A small roof leak may appear as a slight dampness along the top of your walls or framing of your doorways. Wind damage, which tears shingles from the surface of the roof, is another easy damage to spot from the ground.

Though it may be tempting to go up to the roof and view the extent of the damage once the signs are there, this is not typically a good idea.  In the summertime, it’s much easier for a homeowner to get on a ladder and have a look at what is going on with the roof on their own. But in the winter, especially after heavy rain, frost, hail or snow, an inexperienced homeowner on a rooftop is a recipe for disaster. Calling an experienced restoration service in Columbia is the best way to avoid an injury to the homeowner and get the damage repaired properly the first time.
