The biggest enemy of your roof in Southern Illinois is the risk of storm damage. The combination of stormy springs and summers combined with tough winters means that your roof is working overtime to keep the elements out of your home.
The most common form of roof damage is high winds. As strong winds come across your roofing shingles, they bend and break under the pressure. Once that happens, there is a place for the inevitable rain and snow to penetrate the roof. It's not always apparent when wind damage has occurred, so you should have a professional, local Belleville-Area Roofing Contractor conduct a Roofing Inspection after severe storms.
If you've had a hail storm in your area, even a short one, there is a high risk of roof damage. Hail removes the protective gravel from your shingles and allows water to penetrate the roof. ANY TIME there is a hail storm you should have your roof inspected by a qualified Roofing Contractor.
