Wind damage causes millions of dollars of
damage in roofs throughout the country. As hurricanes and major storms are
becoming increasingly frequent even in areas that used to be safe from such extreme
weather events, property owners are paying more attention to protecting their
properties, especially their roofs against storm damage – here are some of the
most common protection measures available:
-
Thorough inspection, followed
by repairs – the process starts with cleaning the entire roof area as well as
the adjacent parts, such as the gutters. The roof is then inspected inch by
inch by a professional roof repair Omaha contractor to identify any weak points and faults, any parts that do not fit properly
or have been damaged and are likely to be torn off by the next storm and in the
final phase all the issues identified during the inspection are addressed to
fortify the roof;
-
Landscape adjustments – storms
damage roofs not only by ripping off loose or damaged covering components, but
also by tearing off tree limbs and dropping them on the roof. The best way to
avoid the issue is to cut off any branches that overhang the roof;
-
Techniques for stronger
fastening – there are various methods, such as special roof harnesses and
brackets, that can be used for fixing the roof more tightly to the walls of the
building.
