Roof Repairs in Houston Now
On January 22, Governor Abbott urged Texans impacted by winter weather to document and report any damages sustained from ice, snow, and freezing temperatures. Ice, snow and excessive rains are not an uncommon event during Texan winters. As a result, many commercial establishments suffer from roof events that require professional assistance. However, many take it upon themselves to repair the damage . At Cline Construction, our experts have put together a guide to help you assess whether it’s time to call in the handymen.
Act Fast
You know the old adage, “Time is money.” And indeed, it is—don’t we know it! If the damage in your roof is keeping you from opening your establishment’s doors, don’t think twice: it’s time to act. But how do you know if it isn’t something you can do something about yourself or a cousin who is the Mr. Fix-it of the family? We say, pay attention to these signs:

The Damage is Visible
Missing hinges, loose shingles, punctures, tears, dents, or holes require professional attention. Something that may seem simple can lead to a bigger problem if not fixed properly. What’s more, the damage may seem small, but it may hide potential bigger problems down the line that will affect the structure and therefore, your budget.
There Are Water Leaks
After a storm, you should always check for water stains on ceilings and walls, or signs of water intrusion in the attic. You will notice water leaks not only when there is actual water dripping from your roof or coming down the walls, but it may manifest later in the form of trapped humidity. If your ceilings and walls are white, they will turn a yellow hue and eventually become inflated—a sign that there is trapped water and humidity.
Water leaks are a double threat because apart from the actual damage to the property, humidity can negatively impact the health of people who live or work in contact with it. If unattended, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Because of that, it is imperative to address it by calling roof repair professionals.

Gutters and Downsprouts Go Missing
When gutters or downspouts fall down, they can cause water to pool around the foundations of the building, which can lead to further damage.
You See Debris on the Roof
If you see branches, tree limbs, or other debris, it may have punctured or caused damage to the shingles or tiles, or even deeper. On top of that, you may want to remove it yourself, but in many cases, the damage is caused when moved, which is why you should call a professional to do it.
You Hear Unusual Noises
Yes, every house has its signature tune. However, creaking or cracking sounds that were not there before a storm can be a sign that the structure has suffered damage.
