In many parts of the country they have to deal with frigid winds and huge piles of snow. Here in San Diego our nemesis is generally rain. Lots of rain. Enough rain to accumulate into a flood and give our city a not-so-nice cleansing. When that first shower hits it seems comforting and welcome. All that rain can pile up and do a number on your house though. Not only do you need to be aware of water flooding in through your potentially weakened basement, but from the roof of your house as well. No one is really immune to this issue, as we discovered last year:
It's easy to forget just how heavy water can be when it accumulates. On their own each drop is pretty tame. Gather them all up and throw them onto a weakened structure and you're signing up for some crazy damage. Roof health is an important factor for determining how healthy your house is. Even the smallest hole can add up over time. If you've got an attic space that you don't regularly use, you might not be aware of how bad water damage is until the ceiling falls in on your head. The good news is that a roof that has been installed properly should last you a good 5-10 years. After intense weather you might want to get a professional to assess the current status of your roof to find out if you need any repairs. A few missing shingles could wind up costing you loads of money in the end. Don't let yourself get caught with your shingles off: http://sandiego.preciseroofing.net/residential.
