Guarding Against the ElementsA homeowner's greatest concern with regard to roofing issues is moisture. Kentucky is naturally a humid and rainy state. On average, the state sees 44.5 inches of rain each year and 18 inches of snow. Humidity ranges between 58% to 81%. With such heavy rain and snowfall, roofing projects must be carefully scheduled, and often completed in stages to ensure minimal risk of water damage. Potential ProblemsWeather is the single largest cause of roof damage. In Kentucky, falling trees, high winds, and other weather related issues cause significant damage. Beware of ice dams, a circumstance caused when the heat from the interior of the home causes ice to melt and then refreeze in a ridge along the edge of the roof, preventing water and melting snow to drain away. Ice dams are best prevented by controlling the loss of heat from your home. If you find you have an ice dam, take very special care when removing the snow, as roof rakes and push brooms often cause damage to roofing materials. Energy Efficient Options in KentuckyEnergy Star markets a line of reflective roofing products which are available to homeowners in Kentucky. By redirecting the sun's rays, roof temperatures may be lowered by up to 100 degrees. This reduces the amount of air conditioning required to cool a home, and contributes greatly to the overall energy efficiency of the home. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
