Summer Roofing

Ready to enjoy the summer? Well, don't get too excited just yet. Your roof may have some problems that need taking care of before you can enjoy that time in the sun. If you are worried about your property and wondering if the time has come to hire a roofing contractor in Cincinnati, you may be right. Here are a few of the common summer roofing issues that can affect Ohio homes.

1. Moisture in the Attic

The high humidity and heat of summer can combine to create moisture problems in the attic that lead to wood rot and damage to the roof membrane. It's important to make sure the attic is well-ventilated so that humidity can escape and not linger where it can cause issues with the roof.

2. Wind & Hail Damaged Shingles

Summer storms can be really turbulent sometimes. In the Cincinnati area, it's not uncommon for windstorms to have gusts up to 70 m.p.h. While most shingles are rated to withstand those speeds, as they age asphalt shingles can dry out, becoming brittle and weak. These older roofs are more prone to developing lifted, curled, and broken shingles. A storm damage restoration contractor can easily identify these issues and fix them to keep the roof in good condition.

3. Sun Damaged Shingles

On the opposite end of the weather spectrum, your shingles can also be damaged by too much sunshine and heat! Older shingles can dry out and develop cracks in them when exposed to high temperatures and low humidity days. These shingles will look like they've split or can also curl up at the edges.

4. Summer Pest Invasions

It seems like insects and small animals are always looking for a way inside, especially in the summer. These pests can make their way into the eaves or into the attic of your home. Even squirrel mothers looking for a place to raise their babies love nesting in home attics during the early part of the summer.

5. Sudden Water Leaks

Any hidden roof damage that occurs over winter will often become obvious as soon as the weather warms up. If you have noticed a series of water leaks that seem to occur suddenly, it could be older damage from ice, windstorms, and just icy temperatures.
