REMINDER: ❗❗☀
In Tampa, Florida, it’s not just the heat that your roof has to battle.
Intense sun exposure, humidity, sudden rain, thunderstorms, and storm season can all put extra stress on your roof — and it becomes even more dangerous if solar panels are installed incorrectly.
Before having solar panels installed, make sure your roof is ready.
Incorrect installation plus a weak roofing system may result in leaks, electrical issues, and possible fire damage.
Here are some things you should avoid:
❌ Don’t install solar panels on a roof with existing leaks, weak spots, or old damaged shingles.
❌ Don’t skip a roof inspection before installation. Just because it looks fine on the outside doesn’t mean everything is okay underneath.
❌ Don’t ignore loose wiring, exposed connections, or poor ventilation.
❌ Don’t allow installation without proper sealing and waterproofing on roof penetrations.
❌ Don’t wait until rainy or storm season before having your roof checked.
❌ Don’t assume your setup is safe without a professional assessment of the roof and mounting system.
At Watertight Roofing Services LLC, we believe your solar system is only as safe as the roof protecting your home.
Protect your roof. Protect your home. Stay safe, Tampa. 💙
