Roof Repair: Weather Hazards

Some roofing projects, when done by an efficient and experienced team, can be finished within a day. But on average, roof replacement and repair take several days of labor. The project and planning are all deliberate and decisive, but there will come a time when uncontrollable factors, like rain and other meteorological phenomena, throw a wrench into plans. When rain suddenly disrupts the project, what happens next? What other things need to be considered when this happens?  Larry Walty Roofing , trusted residential and   commercial roofing contractors , shares the answer!

Worker Safety

Working in the rain can technically be done, but this puts the contractor team at risk. Not only are they at risk of getting sick from being exposed to the rain (paired with how low temperatures can drop during fall and weeks before winter) but they are at risk of sustaining physical injuries while performing their duties on your roof.

Residential and  commercial roof repair  involves heavy physical labor, specific working conditions, and a considerable amount of time. Forcing contractors to go through a roofing project in the middle of a storm not only endangers them but also puts your property and your funding at risk.

Physical Disadvantages

Installing a roof in the middle of heavy rainfall can cause materials to be less effective, like adhesives and roofing materials that need to be dry for optimal installation (like shingles and tiles). Not only that, the overall form of your roofing might change or be affected by the moisture inside and out, causing wrinkles, bubbles, and warping on their surfaces. Lastly, high moisture within the roof can introduce the growth of algae and mold, which not only eat away at structural integrity but also cause harmful effects on you and your family’s health.
