Roof Maintenance From A Roofing Company
It hurts to see poorly maintained roofs. Proper maintenance is one of the easiest things you can do to increase the longevity and health of your roofing system. If you don’t take care of your roof on a regular basis, you’ll end up calling your roofing company way more than you would like.
There are seven things you can do to maintain your roof. The first thing you need to do is clean out your gutters.
There are tools that you can use to clean your gutter without standing on your roof. If your gutters are clogged, water will collect and eventually overflow under your shingles and into your roof.
For those who live in a cold climate, you should also be preventing ice dams. You can do this by removing the snow that is gathering on the lower part of your roof. Once and a while, you should also be checking the flashing around vents. If the flashing isn’t secured properly, water will be able to get into your roof and cause a leak.
Leaks are one of the worst things that can happen to your roof. They cause mold and wood rot to form. For the other maintenance tips, watch the video above!
