Spring Showers Can Reveal Hidden Roof Issues – Is Your Home Ready? 🌧️🏡
Spring brings warmer weather, blooming flowers, and—unfortunately—roof problems that went unnoticed during winter. Heavy rain and strong winds put your roof to the test, revealing leaks, missing shingles, and other issues that could lead to costly damage if left unchecked.
At Summit Roofing, we believe that your home deserves the best protection. That’s why we’re sharing the top spring roofing issues and how to address them before they turn into bigger problems.
5 Spring Roofing Problems You Can’t Ignore 🚨
1️⃣ Roof Leaks & Water Damage
🌧️ Spring rains can turn small leaks into major headaches. If you’re noticing water stains on your ceiling or walls, there’s a good chance your roof has a weak spot.
💡 Solution:
✅ Inspect your attic for water intrusion.
✅ Check for missing or cracked shingles.
✅ Call Summit Roofing for a free inspection before the next storm hits!
2️⃣ Missing or Damaged Shingles
🌪️ Winter storms can loosen or blow shingles off your roof, exposing your home to leaks. Even a single missing shingle can lead to costly water damage.
💡 Solution:
✅ Walk around your home and look for missing or curled shingles.
✅ Schedule a professional inspection to check for hidden damage.
✅ Replace damaged shingles before leaks start.
3️⃣ Clogged Gutters & Poor Drainage
🍂 Clogged gutters don’t just cause water overflow—they can damage your roof, siding, and foundation. When water can’t drain properly, it backs up under your shingles, leading to rot and leaks.
💡 Solution:
✅ Clear out leaves and debris from gutters.
✅ Check for sagging or detached gutters.
✅ Install gutter guards to keep debris out.
4️⃣ Wind & Hail Damage
🌀 Spring storms can bring damaging winds and hail, cracking shingles and weakening your roof’s protective barrier. Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground—but it can lead to serious long-term issues.
💡 Solution:
✅ Look for dents, cracks, or loose granules on shingles.
✅ Have a licensed roofer inspect for hidden storm damage.
✅ Consider impact-resistant shingles (like IKO Dynasty) for added protection.
5️⃣ Flashing & Skylight Leaks
🛠️ Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents can weaken over time, creating entry points for water. Improper installation or aging materials can lead to costly leaks.
💡 Solution:
✅ Check for loose or rusted flashing around roof penetrations.
✅ Seal small gaps with roofing caulk.
✅ If leaks persist, professional replacement may be needed.
