Roofing in the Rain: A Risky Business
Have you ever had the misfortune of experiencing a leaking roof during a storm? If you have, you may have wondered whether roofers can work in the rain. The answer is simple – no. While there are a few rare exceptions, it is best to avoid roofing in the rain at all costs.
If you encounter a major roofing problem, there are a few things you can do to patch things up temporarily while you wait for an emergency roofer. However, roofing in the rain should never be an option.
Why Roofing in the Rain is Not Recommended
Roofing in the rain is a bad idea, and for good reasons. Not only is it dangerous for roofers, but it is also virtually impossible to keep moisture out of your home. Any moisture that seeps under shingles and underlayment can lead to mold and rot, causing severe damage to the roof.
Attempting to fix a roof in the rain could worsen the situation in the long run, resulting in more repairs later on. At Parish Roofing Solutions, we pride ourselves on getting the job done right the first time. That’s why we avoid roofing in the rain to save you from additional repair expenses.
Exceptions to the Rule
In rare cases, roofing in the rain may be necessary, such as in the event of a roofing emergency. If a storm rolls in while we are already working on the roof, we must take the necessary steps to ensure the underlayment has already been laid down to prevent moisture from seeping inside.
However, drying in the roof can only be done using the appropriate type of underlayment. Often, a paper underlayment is used, which provides zero protection from the elements. At Parish Roofing Solutions, we always use synthetic felt underlayment, which is durable and waterproof.
