Roofing company Houston echoes NWS special weather statement
All-Tex Home Improvements urges homeowners to heed any NWS storm statement seriously. The roofing company in Houston rolls out weatherproofing and emergency tips for a safer roof.

All-Tex Home Improvements, a general and roofing company Houston residents have come to trust for more than two decades, has chimed in and echoed the NWS call for preparedness. "Do not wait for spring to end before you fix your roof," the company advised.
The NWS said a few hours ago that its radar picked up "a strong line of thunderstorms" that could hit Texas, Colorado, Washington, and other areas along the Groesbeck to Bastrop. Wind speeds can reach up to 40 mph, the weather station reported.
Check List for Fortifying Roofs and Resisting Bad Weather
Asphalt shingles can normally resist 80 to 110 mph winds, but the roof can only serve its purpose when all the components have been properly installed, All-Tex said.
The company's single statement opens up a list of to-dos for roofers and must-have services that homeowners need to consider:
* Trim nearby branches and overhanging vines. Store outdoor lanterns and other décor inside the home. Strong winds can cause limbs to break and trigger mechanical damage on the roof.
* Double-check asphalt shingle workmanship and have a professional roofing company Houston rework the job when necessary. Nail pops, weakened adhesive strips, and deformities can make it easier for storms to uplift the shingles.
* Ensure that flashings and gutters are angled correctly and unobstructed. Wind gusts are often accompanied by heavy rainfall. The roofing system must be able to shed water efficiently in such event to prevent potential leaks.
* Plug holes, cracks, and other possible water entry points. Water damage can begin in a small crack. Ensuring that the home is as water-resistant as possible could stay future expenses on leak detection, mold remediation, and roof repairs (or replacement).
Mitigating Water Damage from the Inside
According to ABC 13's Eye Witness, the safest place to brave a Texas storm is indoors. The room should reportedly be located at the ground floor and be surrounded by four sturdy walls.
In case emergency roofers are unable to attend to all calls in a timely fashion, All-Tex suggests the following temporary measures:
* Do not attempt to plug holes from within. Doing otherwise could trap moisture in the inner sections of the roof and aggravate water damage.
* Prepare basins to catch the water and protect valuables with a waterproof cover. This will help to contain the water damage.
The company runs a blog site dedicated to educating homeowners about roof care and roofing systems. Interested homeowners can reach the customer hotline for more advice on home weatherproofing.
