Storm-damaged Roof in Allied Gardens?
10/11/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO® of Mission Valley East responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year in Allied Gardens.
Here are some tips for protecting your roof from strong winds from State Farm Insurance:
- Strong winds can cause shingles to peel off, especially if edge shingles are not well secured or the adhesive on their tabs has failed
- A roofing professional can evaluate your roof, and if needed, additional roofing cement can be added under each tab to help keep the shingles attached during a high-wind event
- The shingles should be attached to roof decking of solid 5/8-inch-thick plywood
- The roof decking should be attached to the roof framing using eight diameter ring shank nails and a secondary water barrier created by installing self-adhering flashing tape over the joints in the roof deck
- For greater resistance to wind uplift, apply a bead of construction adhesive along both sides of the intersection between the roof decking and the rafters or trusses. Your roofing professional can provide you with information about additional safeguards.
