With summertime comes green trees, sprouting gardens, and hot, stormy weather. Along with beautifying your yard and tackling landscaping projects before the season begins, you should also prepare your roofing. What can homeowners do to ready their houses for storm season? Here, Buffalo Roofing, LLC in Kearney shares three tips they recommend for those in the central Nebraska area.

How to Get Your Roof Ready for Storm Season

1. Get an Inspection

From high winds that tear off shingles to ice dams that harm your eaves, there are many winter hazards that may have affected your roof. Schedule an inspection to have a roofing professional assess your home. They’ll check the exterior of your roof to look for any areas that require attention. Then, they’ll inspect the inside of your roof to see that everything is structurally sound and properly weather sealed before summer storms arrive.

2. Do Yard Maintenance

Performing regular yard maintenance is part of protecting your home. Call a tree service to remove branches that could pose a threat during a storm. You should also have them inspect the trees in your yard so you can have them removed if they are dying or have become diseased and could fall in a strong wind.

3. Clean Out the Gutters

If you have clogged gutters, a torrential downpour could lead to an overflow and water damage in your house. Clean out the gutters during the spring when everything is flowering and beginning to grow. This way, you’ll ensure precipitation flows away from your home to areas with ample drainage. 

When you prepare your roof during the spring you’ll be less likely to experience issues when that first big rain hits.
