With Hurricane Ian approaching Florida, many families are wondering how to best protect their families and home.
It’s a process that starts before a hurricane even arrives, so here are some steps to take to make sure your roof is ready for inclement weather, according to Advocate Roofing.
1. Determine if your roof is in need of an inspection
If a roof is 15 years or older, has had leaks and has tree limbs overhanging, calling a licensed inspector is a good idea, particularly before a storm.
2. Get a patch job before a storm arrives
If there are any worries that a roof will leak during a bad storm, it’s important to have it patched up so there isn’t extensive water damage. The patch job will help until the storm passes, and then further long-term repairs can be done after a storm.
3. Take photos of your roof before a storm
This will help an inspector or contractor to assess any new damage a storm might have caused and what additional materials are needed for repairs.
