Seasonal Changes and Roof Maintenance

As we wrap up another hot dry summer, homeowners should be aware of the upcoming seasonal changes. Hot and dry summers affect your roof in many ways.The hot dry summer months will cause sealants to become dry and brittle. As the season begins to change rapid tepurature swings of warm and cool weather causes expansion and contraction of joints and seams that can cause issues. The expansion can cause brittle sealants to break free from their bonding surface and cause leaks. Just as your automobiles tire pressure and battery conections should be checked this time of year , it would be a good idea to have you roof checked over as well.
