By Stacy MelleteMarch 21, 2021

A quality and properly installed roof will protect your house from various weather conditions. However, severe weather can also affect your residential roofing system.

In this blog post, we will discuss different weather conditions that can affect your roof.

Conditions that Affect Roofing Systems in Tampa, Florida

Florida’s unique climate requires quality and durable roofing options.

As one of the leading roofers in Tampa Bay, we suggest installing a roofing system that can sustain high winds and other extreme weather conditions.

Rain

Consistent and heavy rainfall can make your roof vulnerable. Here are some of the common roof problems caused by heavy rains:

Moisture
Mold, mildew, and algae growth
Roof leaks
Weak shingles

Sun

Too much sun exposure can also affect the overall condition of the roof. Even some of the quality UV-protected roofing materials today eventually get affected by extreme heat.

Here are some of the common residential roof problems caused by constant sun exposure and UV rays:

Weak shingles
Coating damage
Bleaching
Thermal shock

Hail

Although hail is not common in Tampa, you should still prepare for it. Hail storms can be a lot worse than rain.

Here are some of the common problems caused by hail:

Leaks and water damage
Fractured shingles
Cracks in the granule-asphalt surfacing
Exposed fiberglass mat
Loosening of the self-seal strip
