Electrical storms sound bad, but they are not the most dangerous disasters. Nevertheless, they can still produce damage to homes and even kill people, if protective measures are not considered.
It is estimated that about 100 lightning strikes occur each seconds in the atmosphere of the Earth and about 150 people die every year in the US, as result of lightning strikes.
Lightning strikes typically occur during thunderstorms, so preparing your roof for an electric storm must start with staying alert and informed about weather warnings announced by the National Weather Service.
The next step is to make sure to have Fort Worth roofers install a lightening rod on your roof, which will ensure a safe path for the immense amount of current and voltage produced by a lighting strike to the ground.
A functional lightning rod consists of a tall steel rod, which must be placed vertically, on the highest point of your roof, conductor cables attached to this rod, running along the side of the building and down into the ground and another thick rod buried underground (10ft or more), which will discharge the focused lightning energy.
Another important thing you can do to prepare your roof for an electric storm is to trim tree branches to prevent them from hanging above your roof. Trees are commonly hit by lightning strikes, and large branches may fall through your roof and cause a lot of damage, right in the middle of a severe storm.

Failing to clean your gutters isn’t something you want to let happen. Whether you live in an area with frequent storms, or there are several tall trees close to your home, the debris fallen on your gutters can cause a lot of trouble down the line, and can lead to you having to repair your gutters, having roofers in Fort Worth repair your roof and siding, or having someone fix the foundation of your home, while spending thousands of dollars in the process.
The main role that your gutters have is to keep rainwater away from your home and to prevent ice dams from forming during the winter. Failing to clean your gutters regularly can cause these problems to occur quite frequently, placing a lot of strain on your roof during the winter (due to the weight of the ice dams) and causing your home to suffer severe water damage over time.
If you don’t clean your gutters on time, the gutters themselves might also suffer. The debris that clogs them up and the stale water can attract pests and cause premature rusting which would shorten the lifespan of your gutters. The result will be that you’ll have to spend up to $2,000-$3,000 for a new gutter system, when the one you have might have only been installed a short time ago.

Cement shingles have been around for well over 100 years, and have continued to evolve as time went by. Considered one of the most popular choices for roofing even today, cement is a material that had its ups and downs, but is now firmly established as a durable and cost-effective material that can provide your home with exemplary protection.
Asbestos cement was the first type of cement to be used in the roofing industry. Successfully produced and marketed for the first time by Ludwig Hatschek in Austria, in 1893, asbestos cement shingles became a success during the beginning of the 20th century despite most homes having clay or slate shingles at that time.
However, the harmful effects of asbestos were recognized as early as the 1950s, and by the 1990s, the use of asbestos shingles was banned. Nevertheless, this was not the end of cement shingles when it comes to their contribution to the roofing industry.
A new an improved material known as fiber cement is now being used for the manufacturing of siding and roofing products. Fiber cement is far more durable, affordable and efficient than asbestos cement, and best of all, it’s 100% safe. Moreover, fiber cement mimics the look of traditional shingle roofing, so it can also be an excellent choice if you want your home to look great. Be sure to visit CLC Roofing Inc. of Fort Worth to find durable roofing products used in the local communities for best results.

Are you looking for a more environmentally friendly approach to keeping your home tidy and fashionable? Looking for something a little more special than the old metal or concrete roof you used to have? Then look no further than the resourceful green roofing contractors based in your local area.

But what is a green roof, and why should you consider it? To put it simply, green roofs are designed to contain vegetation, plants and even small trees and bushes that produce life-giving oxygen and absorb the excess rainwater that would normally damage your roof.
Green roofing systems can be immensely beneficial for the environment. Not only do they allow vegetation to grow, but they can also provide a habitat for harmless creatures such as insects that are essential to the ecosystem.
Green roofs also have a remarkably beneficial effect on your home and health. They offer shade and additional oxygen, and they take the brunt of the sunlight and radiation from the sun that would normally heat up your home during the summer. As a result, they will help ease the excessive strain on your AC unit this summer, and they’ll also allow you and your household to breathe more easily overall. So call up your local Fort Worth roofing company contractor today, and ask about their affordable green roofing quotes.
