Spring storms are known for their roof damaging capabilities from high winds to hail, but can heavy rain be enough to cause roof problems? Some storms are capable of dumping heavy amounts of rain in a short amount of time. Even without the wind and hail associated with those storms, rain can create its own set of issues.
Water can get underneath your roof shingles and cause damage to the structure of the roof deck leading to potential leaks into your home. Large amounts of rain in a short period of time can overwhelm your home’s gutters leading to possible flooding. Heavy rain will infiltrate even the smallest of cracks in the seals on your roof.
It is important to have regular roof inspections especially in volatile spring conditions. The storms the Southeast has seen recently have been especially intense with heavy downpours. To set up your free roof inspection visit www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Types of Hail
Hail can be one of the most damaging parts of those severe spring storms. This past week areas of the Southeast saw hail ranging in size from very small to baseball size. If your area experiences a hail storm of any kind there are some things you should do to ensure your home and roof are protected.
Hail claims to insurance have to be completed in a specific amount of time or they may not be covered. Be sure not to wait too long! Pay attention to weather reports in your area to see what type of hail occurred. This means looking for descriptions and photos.
While pea size hail may not seem to be an issue, even small hail can cause problems if it is dense enough. Dense hail is often completely clear in color because it contains less air molecules. Dense hail can be very damaging no matter the size because of the impact it causes to your roof.
A professional roof inspection can determine if there was functional or cosmetic damage done to your home. Don’t wait to have this done! If you experienced severe weather schedule a free roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Unexpected Roof Issues
When your roof isn’t working as it should, you may be opening up your home to unexpected guests. Animals and pests of all kinds can see a broken shingle or improperly installed roof vent as an open invitation to come inside. Phoenix Roofing knows how to identify potential problem areas and has the expertise to get them fixed!
Animals often search for a place outside of the elements during times of inclement weather, mating season or when they are going to give birth. All kinds of animals can find themselves in the attic through roof penetrations including bats, birds, racoons, squirrels, rodents, bees and wasps. Signs of potential infestations include hearing scratching noises, seeing nests on the roof, and signs of animal droppings. Animals in your home can cause structural problems as well as health issues so it is important to keep them outside.
