Having a good roof over your head is essential in the sense that your family, household belongings, and assets will be sheltered from any weather conditions that may cause havoc. As such, different climate conditions can put so much pressure on the roof and is often a key threat when it comes to the durability of your roof. As such, it’s really important to know how the different weather conditions can immensely impact your roof. During summer, the heat can be unbearable compared to other seasons of the year. Though most homeowners only think winter is the only time they need to get their roof checked and fixed, this is usually not the case. Too much heat can cause swelling of the material used to design your home roofing system. Once the roof swells, there can be immediate damage or problems in the near future once the swelling begins to shrink. The structures used to support your roof are also prone to risk, and most of the times homeowners never notice this until it’s a bit too late and damage has already been done. Ensure that you have proper ventilation for your house all through the different weather conditions as excessive heat can also cause damage to your roof. Rain is a common occurrence. Therefore, you always need to ensure that your roof is checked for any form of damage. A small crack or opening on your rooftop is enough to cause leakage in your house which if not dealt with at the right time can lead to a major problem for you, your family and pets. It’s always important to ensure that you get experts to have a look at it if you notice any signs of leakage to assess the damage and have it fixed before a small issue becomes a major problem for you. Snow is one of the weather conditions that can cause serious damage to your roof. It combines heavy wind and rain which are both harmful to your roof. The more snow continues to accumulate on your rooftop the heavier it becomes. If proper methods of de-icing aren’t followed, the accumulated snow could cause your roof to cave in or cause leakage. You can try to prevent this by removing accumulated snow immediately it starts snowing. Additionally, when fixing or repairing your roof, ensure you use materials (read more) that can greatly reduce this risk, that will be your number one way of minimizing the risk.

I appreciate you mentioning that when a roof expands, there may be immediate damage or issues after the swelling starts to reduce. My sister reports that the roof is sagging. I'll advise her to hire a storm damage roof repair professional to mend the roofs.
