The Florida climate can be particularly tough on the average roofing material. The average Florida residence has to endure a series of hailstorms, gale force winds and serious rainfall. Any type of roofing material in Florida is going to be tested whether it’s from the humid climate and storms to the other forms of structural tests on a roof. Here are some of the most common types of roofing problems that can be faced in a Florida climate or storm.
Wear And Tear Damage
When wear and tear occurs, there’s a chance that you could see large puddles of water that start to collect across your roof. Water may start to linger after huge storm hits and this often leads to the chance of leaks, the degradation of roofing materials and more.
Wind
Wind damage is also a serious factor in the Florida climate and an easy sign of wind damage often comes down to roofing materials that are missing or tented/billowing roofing materials.
Leaks And Moisture
Moisture accumulation or wear and tear damage often presents itself in the form of moisture and leaks. The most common type of roofing repair that you may need to face comes down to leaks and moisture which can lead to decay and other building material damage inside your home.
Extreme Weather
Florida experiences a series of tropical storms and hurricanes each year. From massive hailstorms to extremely high winds, there is a chance that your roofing materials may blow off, be hammered by hail or be removed by the weather. Extreme weather often requires a professional roofing inspection to keep your home in its best condition after the storm.
Consider some of these top problems if you are starting to see the early signs of damage with your Florida roof.
