New Hampshire, with its diverse geography and changing seasons, subjects its residents to a dynamic array of weather challenges. From the ferocity of storms that unleash torrents of heavy rainfall to the unyielding grasp of winter's icy fingers, the state's climate can be both awe-inspiring and demanding. These varying conditions pose a significant challenge to the structural integrity of homes, particularly their roofs.
Storms with high winds and hail are easy to understand when it comes to threats to your home. A much more savage threat are ice dams.
Ice dams typically form when snow on the upper, warmer part of the roof melts, flows down towards the cooler eaves, and refreezes. This process creates a barrier of ice along the roof's edge, trapping water behind it. As the ice dam forms, it acts as a barrier that prevents melted snow from properly draining off the roof. This trapped water can accumulate and create pools or "ponds" behind the dam. The pooled water behind the ice dam can seep beneath shingles or other roofing materials. This water intrusion can undermine the protective layers of the roof, potentially causing damage to the decking, underlayment, and even the structure of the roof itself.
Before embarking on any strategic plan, it is paramount to delve into the intricacies of your home's construction and roofing system. The experienced professionals at The Clemens Group undertake a meticulous assessment, leaving no stone unturned as they strive to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities and weak points that may be lurking beneath the surface.
In this thorough evaluation, we recognize that high winds have the potential to loosen even the sturdiest of shingles, leaving your roof susceptible to damage. Similarly, the accumulation of ice can morph into a silent assailant, causing structural damage that may go unnoticed until it becomes a substantial concern. One subtle yet telltale sign that your home may have incurred damage is the presence of asphalt granules in the bottom of the downspouts.
Observing asphalt granules in the downspouts splash blocks is akin to nature leaving its calling card, signaling that your roofing material may be deteriorating. These granules, which are embedded in asphalt shingles to provide protection, can become dislodged due to the impact of severe weather conditions. If you notice an accumulation of these granules at the bottom of the downspouts, it's a potential indicator that your roof has experienced wear and tear.
At The Clemens Group, we advocate for proactive solutions to fortify your home against the elements. Rather than waiting for storm damage, consider:
1. Reinforced Roofing Materials: Invest in impact-resistant shingles and durable roofing systems to withstand severe weather.
2. Proper Drainage Systems: Ensure efficient water drainage away from your home's foundation, preventing roof and interior damage.
3. Impact-Resistant Solutions: Choose materials that can withstand hail and debris during storms, reducing the risk of roof damage.
