Since the rainy season in certain regions, like Hawaii, is drawing to a close, now is the perfect time to address storm damage and general issues with an experienced roof maintenance company. If you’re ready to prepare your home for a new season, here are three common roofing problems to rectify after the heavy rains have come to a close. 

The Top 3 Roof Issues to Tackle After the Rainy Season

1. Storm Damage

After months of on-going rainy weather, it’s typical to experience some storm damage on your roof. Perform a visual inspection to see if you notice missing shingles, mildew growth, excessive debris, clogged gutters, splitting or cracked membrane due to moisture or ponding (standing) water, or leaks into your attic or living spaces. Should you notice any of the above issues, call a roofer that specializes in storm damage repairs to assist. 

2. Ponding Water

If you have a flat roof, water may pond in certain areas due to on-going rainfall and uneven roof. These small pools of water that don’t dry out in a few hours can weaken your roofing materials such as coatings and cause leaks. Should you notice standing water on your roof, schedule an appointment with a roof maintenance company who can make necessary repairs and strengthen your roof system. 

3. Proactive Maintenance

For added safety, make a habit of scheduling annual inspections with your roofers at the end of every rainy season. This way, a trained professional will have the opportunity to evaluate the condition of your roof and make minor fixes as needed to ensure your system remains strong and intact for years to come.
