storm damage roof repair
Summer brings warm weather, longer days—and powerful storms that can wreak havoc on your home. High winds, heavy rain, and hail are just some of the elements that can damage your roof if it’s not properly prepared. At Jar Roofing Repair, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a summer storm can compromise even a strong roof. Fortunately, there are proven ways to protect your roof before, during, and after the storm season.
The Impact of Summer Storms on Your Roof
Many homeowners underestimate the damage a single storm can cause. Summer storms can lead to:
-
Shingle damage from high winds and flying debris
-
Leaks and water intrusion from cracked flashing or torn membranes
-
Gutter backups that push water under roofing layers
-
Structural stress due to excess water weight or fallen branches
If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to expensive repairs or premature roof replacement.
For comprehensive, federal guidance on preparing your home and family for severe weather events like hurricanes and tropical storms, explore resources from FEMA’s Ready.gov initiative.
1. Schedule a Pre-Storm Roof Inspection
The best defense is preparation. A professional roof inspection can identify and fix small problems—like loose shingles, exposed nails, or aging flashing—before a storm turns them into major issues.
At Jar Roofing Repair, we offer comprehensive roof inspections that help homeowners prevent costly storm-related damage. We know what to look for, and we respond quickly to keep your roof storm-ready.
2. Clear Your Gutters and Downspouts
Gutters are your roof’s drainage system. When they’re clogged, water backs up and can seep under your shingles or fascia boards. Before storm season, clean out leaves, twigs, and debris. Make sure water flows freely and that all downspouts are pointed away from your foundation.
If your gutters are sagging or damaged, Jar Roofing Repair can provide gutter repair or replacement services to ensure your home is protected.
3. Trim Nearby Trees
Overhanging limbs can snap during strong winds and cause major roof damage. Regularly trim back trees and remove any dead or weak branches that could fall during a storm. Doing this not only protects your roof but also reduces the amount of debris that ends up in your gutters.
If a branch has already caused damage, call us at 732-682-5451 for fast emergency repair services.
4. Check Your Attic and Ventilation
Your attic plays a big role in your roof’s health. Poor ventilation can cause heat and moisture to build up, weakening roofing materials from the inside. Make sure your attic is properly ventilated and insulated to reduce the risk of leaks and mold during humid summer weather.
We inspect not just the roof but the underlying systems that keep it functioning long-term.
5. Reinforce Vulnerable Roof Areas
Some parts of your roof—like valleys, flashing, and ridgelines—are more vulnerable to storm damage. Adding sealants, replacing worn flashing, or using storm-rated materials can significantly increase your roof’s resistance to water and wind.
Jar Roofing Repair uses high-quality, weather-resistant materials that provide long-lasting protection, especially during the most active storm months.
6. Act Quickly After a Storm
If a storm has already hit your area, don’t wait to check for damage. Even if your roof looks intact from the ground, small cracks or dislodged shingles can let water in.
Look for:
-
Water stains on ceilings or walls
-
Missing or curled shingles
-
Granule loss in gutters
-
Soft spots on your roof or attic floor
At the first sign of trouble, call Jar Roofing Repair at 732-682-5451. We offer emergency roof repair and storm damage assessments to restore your roof quickly and professionally.
