Heat, Humidity and Your Roof in Alpharetta
Hot, humid summers, heavy rain and lots of trees are all part of life in Alpharetta. Each one is hard on a roof in its own way.
Request a rooferHeat and sun
Hot summers bake shingles and break down sealants around flashing and pipe boots. These are often the first places a roof leaks.
Humidity and attics
Poor attic ventilation traps hot, moist air, which can shorten shingle life and lead to mold. A roofer can check intake and exhaust vents.
Trees and debris
Leaves and pine needles pile up in valleys and gutters and hold moisture against the roof. Branches rubbing the roof wear shingles away.
Storms
Spring and summer thunderstorms bring heavy rain, strong wind and sometimes hail. Before storm season, trim overhanging branches, clear gutters and have loose shingles fixed. See what to do after a hail storm.
A simple yearly routine
Look at the roof from the ground each spring and after storms, clean gutters, check the attic for stains, and book an inspection every year or two.
