How to Storm-Proof a Home With Roof Glue

Storms that produce winds can lift or tear asphalt shingles on a home's roof, allowing water to damage contents in your home. The age of the shingles, how the shingles are fastened and the number of layers of shingles on a roof are factors that affect a shingled roof's durability during storms. You can storm-proof your home's roof by applying roof adhesive to loose shingles until you can replace your old roof with a new one.
