Roof Sealing for Storm Damage!

8/31/2022 (Permalink)

Roof sealing can help prevent damage from storms!

Your roofing seems fine until a heavy storm hits and you find leaks all over your home. The day is gloomy, you want to stay inside and watch the rain fall from the window not from inside your living room ceiling. An option that a homeowner may have is to seal their roof. Sealing a roof includes options:

• Two layers of felt
• Synthetic roof membranes
• A polyurethane foam spray(for existing roofs)

When you seal your roof, it gives an extra protection against rain storms.

It is said that the roofing industry has suggested the felt paper as a way to help drain water away once it is behind the roof cover. The roof covering that you chose should be sealed with a membrane that is strong enough to be watertight, will stay in place if the primary roof blows off.

This week Carlsbad is predicted to rain for 7+ days straight. Fix your roof before the leaks find the cracks!

Strong wind currents can tear roofing and exterior walls off of homes especially when the material is weakened by water damage first.

When living in southern California, sometimes a storm can come out of nowhere. Just like this past week the wind was intense and sending trees, bushes and household items flying around the yard. Wind storms like this can cause a lot of damage to properties. Damage from objects or brush flying into properties windows or walls.

Damage from the storm water leaking into the property or even cause roof damage that then allows outside water to enter the properties.

Prepare for Storms!

We are proudly ran by veterans of the USMC.

In Southern California you never know what to expect from the weather. One day it's 100 degrees and the next morning it's 49 degrees.

Although they try to predict the weather, it's never 100% accurate and it's best to always be prepared for storms. 

Homeowners can spend nicer days making sure their property is prepared for catastrophes ahead of time so when they strike, the damage is hopefully lesser.

If you discover a roof leak, fix it as soon as you can before the next storm hits. Make sure you have proper drains set up to steer water away from your home and prevent flooding. Cut back or down trees that are leaning and could potentially be blown into your home. Be sure to put away patio furniture and bring umbrellas down when the winds begin to pick up so they are not blown into windows. There are many tips that can help you prepare your home better for a storm. The less damage done by a storm, the less money spent fixing it!

Always Dressed in Uniform

Our teams are always dressed to impress!

We are falling back into time and fall in November. November days mean storms will be approaching before we know it. The days are shorter which means the weather gets cooler. Cooler weather can be accompanied by wind and rain. I know we don't get too many wild storms in sunny San Diego, but when they do hit, they tend to hit hard. It's best to take precautions and prepare for the worst when the weather is at it's best. Our employees are always prepared to deploy out to storm areas to help cleanup and restore properties to normal conditions again. Our trucks stay stocked full of equipment and materials so we are always ready for any water, fire, mold or bio hazard job that comes our way.
