We’re rolling into a few months of cool temperatures and rain. We don’t know if the rain will hit only occasionally or be steady.
But we do know this: summer’s heat weakens older roofs, and leaky gutters or no gutters run the risk of stucco walls soaking up rainwater.
Your roof is also a great tool for harvesting rainwater.
Garvey Roofing installs and repairs roofs for all seasons.
Keep the rain where it belongs
Let’s keep the rain on our lawns, flowers, and fruit trees and away from the insides of our homes.
Installing a new roof may be your best solution to prevent damaging leaks.
Our weather in the San Gabriel Valley is nice and it usually rains more in Altadena than it does in Hacienda Heights.
Summer temperatures rise into the low triple digits several weeks out of the year but often cools off at night and our winters are never too cold. During the summer, the sun’s most damaging rays slowly degrade the materials on older roofs and the winter rains find their way into older asphalt shingles and poorly installed underlayment.
Installing a new roof using the best roofing materials for your home ensures that your home is water tight in the winter. Thomas Garvey pays close attention to the ventilation, too.
Attic fans or low-profile vents help the hot air circulate in the summer and help the attic stay as dry as possible in the winter.
If your roof needs repairs there may be sections of decking that need replacing or seams that need repairing.
The goal is keeping water running off your roof and channeling it away from your home.
Gutters
That’s why gutters are useful.
Gutters come in many colors
Garvey Roofing installs seamless aluminum gutters and ensures the water runs away from your home’s foundation and the walls.
Many homes in Pasadena, Alhambra, and other cities in the San Gabriel Valley have stucco walls which are porous and soak up water. Mold can grow and eventually, over the years, structural damage can occur.
Gutters also enhance appearances and gives a home a finished look.
Rain harvesting
See Garvey Roofing’s Gutters page
The last couple of years have seen enough rainfall to fill California’s lakes but we don’t know if this year will be different. Mitigate the effects of dry winters and reduce your water bill by using your roof to harvest water run-off from your roof.
Garvey Roofing can install a ready-made system and has custom-designed rain barrels for homeowners.
