2019 Atlantic hurricane season is June 1, 2019- November 30, 2019. Whether it's an intense thunderstorm or a full-blown hurricane, storms can do a number on your home, especially in the summertime when temperatures are at their hottest. When air and water temperatures rise, storms tend to drop more precipitation and hang around longer. South Florida has already begun witnessing the rainy season. In order to be fully prepared for your roof to receive all the upcoming rain, one should take precautionary actions and follow these tips:
- Clean your gutters and downspouts
- Check your roof for any missing, cracked, or loose shingles/tiles
- Clean the valley for leaves
- Trim trees
- Do maintenance on your flat roof
- Repair any small leaks
