The average roof replacement might take several days to complete. As a result, most Roofing contractors usually monitor the weather before starting to work on the roof. However, the weather is unpredictable, and rain is one factor that cannot be controlled. What if it starts to rain unexpectedly in the middle of a roof replacement before your roofing job is completed?
With the majority of the roofing work, rain means covering up every open area quickly using tarps and protecting the area. All the work will obviously have to discontinue during this time. There are several circumstances, however, where roofing work can go on in light rain.
When the rain looks likely or with the rain which keeps starting and stopping, we usually work on small parts of the roof at a time, we only tear off and replace each area at a time. As a result, fewer roofs will be open to the rain damage. Working on one part at a time makes your roof to stay intact, effectively all through the entire work.
When that unpredicted rain turns out to be an unexpected high wind along with a heavy shower, your roof remains protected. In turn, the stuff in your home is also protected. In good weather, we can tear off the whole roof before we begin replacing it. This apparently would not be a perfect idea during the rain.
As we work on your roof, we make sure that there are no gaps or holes where water can leak through. We will continue working until we are very sure that your house is protected from water damage. We normally use roof sealant as an efficient, but a temporary fix. Immediately the weather clears, we will come again to continue repairing the roof.
Rain can, besides, gives the roofers a chance to check for any drainage problems and thus notice where water is flowing. At times, it can be hard to locate the source of the leaks without shooting water at the roof. Rain may help the roofer get to the origin of the problem, although it will still require drying up for the replacement to continue properly.
Given that even the weather experts are having trouble with predicting the rain, we advise flexibility if you are thinking of a roof replacement. Light rain will not stop the process; however, rain or a storm can make the project delay.
