URGENT CALL-TO-ACTON FOR HOMEOWNERS - FIX YOUR ROOF LEAKS BEFORE BERYL STRIKES

As Hurricane Beryl barrels towards St. Lucia, expected to make landfall tonight into early Monday morning as a formidable Category 3 hurricane, the urgency to secure your home has never been greater. With wind speeds anticipated to reach up to 111 mph with gusts up to 150 mph and over 6 inches of torrential rain expected, even the smallest leaks in your roof can spell disaster. Now is the time to act and ensure your roof is in top condition to withstand the imminent storm.

The Dangers of a Leaking Roof During a Hurricane

A leaking roof during a Category 3 hurricane can lead to catastrophic damage. Here’s what you risk if you neglect this crucial aspect of home maintenance:

1. Structural Damage: Water seeping through your roof can weaken the structural integrity of your home. Saturated wood can rot, compromising the stability of your roof and walls. In the high winds of a hurricane, this can lead to partial or even total collapse.

2. Electrical Hazards: Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Leaks can cause short circuits, leading to power outages or, worse, electrical fires. During a hurricane, when emergency services may be delayed, this can be particularly dangerous.

3. Mold and Mildew: Even after the storm passes, lingering moisture from roof leaks can create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. This not only damages your home further but also poses significant health risks to your family.

4. Interior Damage: Your home’s interior – from furniture to personal belongings – can be destroyed by water damage. Ceilings, walls, and floors can suffer severe harm, leading to costly repairs and replacements.
