Queensland weather can be beautiful one day, perfect the next! However, there is no doubt that when a storm hits Queensland, they can be devastating. A structurally sound roof is crucial in storms that gather high winds and hail to protect the occupants of the home, so it can save you some heartache by having a preparation checklist when storms are approaching. Here are our recommendations for checking your roof before stormy conditions are forecast:
- Carry out regular inspections of your roof (ensure these are done in a safe manner or call in a professional)
- Check for any deteriorated and rusted areas
- Check for any loose fittings
- Carry out maintenance as needed to ensure the integrity of the roof
- Have a metal roofing specialist inspect your roof and report on the condition of the roof
One of the best investments you can make for your home is installing a metal roof. Metal roofs are highly energy efficient but also fare better in wild storms than other roofing types due to its strength and durability. Metal roofing, our preferred roofing material is particularly resistant to splitting or cracking from hail.
