Knoxville Homeowners: Flash Floods Can Soak Your Roof – Trust a VFL to Keep You Dry
What Are Flash Floods in Knoxville?
Knoxville’s location near the Tennessee River and its hilly terrain make flash floods a concern, especially during summer thunderstorms or prolonged rain. These sudden, intense floods can occur within minutes, overwhelming drainage systems and sending water into homes. The National Weather Service notes that Knoxville faces flash flood risks several times a year, particularly in low-lying areas like South Knoxville. For homeowners, this means potential roof leaks, gutter damage, and foundation issues – problems my team at Daniel Hood Roofing is ready to fix.
How Flash Floods Damage Your Roof
Flash floods are sneaky opponents. Heavy rain can overwhelm your gutters, causing water to pool on your roof and seep under shingles. Poorly sealed flashing around chimneys or vents can let water infiltrate your attic. Prolonged moisture can also weaken your roof deck, leading to rot or mold. Our licensed and insured team inspects your roof and drainage system to prevent and repair flash flood damage.
