As the summer season comes to a close we at SERVPRO of Western Lehigh County want to remind you that the summer season of heavy winds and rain can take a toll on your roof and can cause problems not too far down the road. When storm season is said and done your roof can be left with missing shingles and wore down areas that can lead to leaking and potential structural damage when snow season arrives. Leaky roofs can damage property and cause your bills to rise if heating or air conditioning escapes through the holes in your roof from a rough storm season. It can also lead to disastrous cave-ins if there is a rough snow season, when snow piles up on your roof it can be heavy amounts of weight on your roof. When a roof isn't structured enough it can lead to cave ins and potential damage to everything in your top floor of your house. At SERVPRO of Western Lehigh County we want you to be safe and be smart by keeping up with the wear and tear of your roof during storm season and to know who to call when problems arise
