SC HOME
rains can end up pooling in undesired areas of the roof and gutter, causing stress, structural leaks, and breaks in the drainage system.
#3 Cluttered Roof Decks Outdoor roof decks are a place of fun and
relaxation, often furnished with tables, chairs, BBQ’s and even rugs. What many neglect to realize, is that upper floor/roof decks are de- signed to properly drain water during heavy rains. Each item that rests on any deck is a po- tential obstruction that may cause water to build up, pool in undesired areas, and leak in places that are not setup to support drainage. Homeowners should remove as many items as possible before a storm, such as El Niño, to lessen the potential damage of excessive rain- fall.
#4 Slipped &
Broken Shingles The older a roof is, the more damage it is
likely to have sustained over the years - often resulting in slipped or broken shingles that re- quire repair before any weather system, such as El Niño hits. Any exposed areas of roofing are highly susceptible to serious rains, which can lead to leaks, flooding and costly structural re- pairs. Before it is too late, all homeowners and property managers should have their roofs in- spected and fixed to ensure proper water flow and drainage.
#5 Cracked Skylights For anyone with property featuring sky-
lights, a thorough inspection is recommended to ensure they are fully intact and invulnerable to excessive water. While these modern, aes- thetically pleasing windows are designed to let in sunshine, they can also become an entry point for unwanted rain and condensation, es- pecially during intense storms. Any existing damage to the actual skylight or surrounding area, resulting from breaks, cracks, or improper installation, becomes a source for the devastat- ing weather of El Niño to wreak havoc on the structural integrity of the home.
#6 Ponding Structures built with flat roofs may feature
areas that become susceptible to pooling or “ponding” - which is often the result of sagging and/or poor design. As water builds, stress is placed on the roof, resulting in leaks, breaks, and even more serious damages. Homeowners and property managers are encouraged to look for ponding on their roofs and have the issues remedied immediately to properly protect against the heavy rains of El Niño. For most homeowners with sloped roofs, this is a rare oc- currence. It is generally important for homeowners
and property managers to know as much about a roof’s integrity as possible; as no roof is 100% safe from one of the largest storms ever to hit
