What are some common causes of Roof damage?
Hurricane Damages
Florida is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms. High winds, heavy rain, and flying debris can cause significant damage to roofs, including torn or missing shingles, lifted flashing, and even structural issues.
High Humidity
The high humidity levels in Florida can create an environment conducive to mold and mildew growth on roofs. These microorganisms can compromise the integrity of roofing materials and lead to decay.
Tree and Vegetation Debris
Florida’s lush landscape includes many trees and vegetation. Overhanging branches, falling leaves, and debris can accumulate on roofs, potentially leading to clogged gutters and damaged shingles.
UV Radiation
Florida’s abundant sunshine exposes roofs to intense UV radiation year-round. Over time, this can lead to the deterioration of roofing materials, causing them to become brittle, crack, or lose their protective coatings.
Heavy Rainfall
Florida experiences frequent rain, especially during the rainy season. Roof drainage systems can become overwhelmed, leading to ponding water and leaks. Additionally, clogged gutters and downspouts can exacerbate water-related issues.
Aging Roofs
Like any other state, roofs in Florida age over time. As roofing materials wear out, they become more susceptible to damage and leaks.
