Hello Friends,
Whew! What a monsoon season. We most certainly have a love hate relationship with the rain. We have had significant rainfall and the weather gurus promise a wet winter. That is about as scary a commentary I can make in a Halloween message. Here is my suggestion, you are all going to be up there on the roof hanging lights and such. Take a look around and do a little preventative maintenance, especially in those dead valleys where the leaves and debris pile up and wreak havoc. Also look around those pipes and penetrations, look for dry/cracking sealant. A tube of sealant at Home Depot would save you lots of headaches. Those are the areas where the roof will likely fail. Also, take a look at the stucco up where the roof meets the walls and also check the sealant around your windows- many times those problems disguise themselves as roof leaks. As always, prevention is the key. Oh, and patience, when it rains Arizona style- its not longer a desert- its a jungle out there. Roar!
Happy Halloween Everyone!
