Your roof can also be damaged by the fluctuating temperatures in the early days of summer and later, as summer transitions into fall. In response to the high heat during the day, your roof expands. When the sun goes down and temperatures drop dramatically your roof contracts. These fast temperature changes can weaken the integrity of your roofing materials and cause cracks and warping of your shingles.

Termites

When it comes to animal threats to your home, no word strikes more fear into the heart of a homeowner than the word “termite.” Termites are small insects that feast on wood—the wood that’s used to construct your roof, your walls, and just about everything else in your home’s structure. Colonies may have as many as a million termites or more—enough to eat a pound of wood per day. Of course, when termites are hidden inside your walls or up in your attic, you may not find this until it’s too late and your dealing with major structural damage to your roof. If you discover termite damage, it’s strongly advised you call an exterminator as soon as possible.

It’s this ability that gives torch roofs their long life span. The cap sheet on a torch down roofing system has other excellent properties, including resistance to UV rays and reflectivity to keep the building cool and energy efficient. Water resistant torch down roofing is an excellent choice in snowy environments.
