BLOG “September Roof Prep: Get Ready for Fall Storms in Texas” Sep 01, 2025

Why September Is a Crucial Roofing Month in Texas

Texas doesn’t have the sharpest seasonal transitions, but we do experience strong storms starting in late September and October. September is your last “calm” month to prepare:

• Lingering summer damage may go unnoticed.
• Cooler temps make repairs easier for contractors.
• Storm-proofing now prevents emergency repairs later.
• Scheduling is faster now than during peak storm season.

Common End-of-Summer Roof Problems to Look For

Here’s what Texas roofs typically suffer from after the brutal summer heat:

• Cracked or curling shingles from UV exposure
• Loose flashing around vents or chimneys
• Clogged gutters from debris and nesting pests
• Sagging or soft spots on older roofs
• Discoloration or algae growth, especially in shaded areas

Noticing any of these? It’s time to call in a pro.

Fall Storm Prep Tips for Your Roof

Here’s what E & E Roofing recommends for all Baytown-area homeowners this month:

1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

Our team performs free roof inspections that help identify early warning signs. We check for leaks, structural weak points, and hail or wind damage that may have gone unnoticed in summer.

2. Clear Out Gutters and Downspouts

Debris buildup from summer storms or nearby trees can lead to overflow and eventual water damage. Cleaning gutters in September can prevent foundation issues later.

3. Secure Loose Shingles or Flashing

High winds common in Texas fall storms can rip off already-loose materials. We ensure everything is tightly fastened and sealed.

4. Cut Back Overhanging Trees

Overgrown branches are a real hazard — one strong gust can crack a limb and crash it into your roof. Trim them back to reduce risk.

5. Check for Internal Signs of Leaks

Water stains on ceilings, bubbling paint, or musty odors in the attic? These are signs a leak has already started. Act fast before fall rains worsen it.

Should I Wait Until After a Storm?

Waiting until storm damage occurs might seem like a money-saving tactic, but it often costs more in the long run. Emergency roof repairs are more expensive, and your insurance provider may dispute claims if maintenance was neglected.
