What shapes roof work here

The Norristown weather station records 25.3 inches of snow and 106.9 freezing days a year in the 1991 to 2020 normals, against 16.1 inches and 62.4 days for Philadelphia, and Ambler's ice-dam risk tier is Moderate. That is a lot of freeze and thaw on roofs in a place where 88% of homes were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Hail adds to it: NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 52 hail reports within 15 km of town since 2000, which puts it in the High band, and the season runs May through August with July the peak. Roofers Hotline books your roof inspection and gives a written estimate before any work starts. Call in spring, before May, so the roof is checked ahead of hail season.

Questions

Roofing questions in Ambler

Are homes in Ambler older than the rest of Montgomery County?

Yes. Census estimates for 2019 to 2023 show 88% of homes here were built before 1980, against 62% county-wide, and the median year built is 1954. Older homes tend to have older roof decks and flashing. Call to book a roof inspection and ask for the written estimate before any work starts.

When is hail most likely to hit roofs here?

The hail season runs May through August, and July is the peak: it accounts for 42 of the 148 hail reports within 25 km since 2000. The largest hail in the county record was 1.75 inches. Book an inspection in spring, or right after a July storm, and ask for the written estimate.

Do ice dams form on roofs here?

Yes. Winters here bring 107 freezing days and about 25 inches of snow, by NCEI normals. That is ice dam weather for any roof with a warm attic under it.

Why do roofs here leak?

Usually at the flashing. The nearest station records 51 inches of rain in a normal year. That much water finds the pipe boots, valleys and chimney seams first.
