These tips will indeed find a use for your home’s roof.
We all know that the roof is one of the vital parts of a structure. Keeping it in good condition should be a priority. It can be intimidating at first, but doing it will ensure your roof will last to its expected life with the correct standard of care and maintenance.
Doing routine inspections and roof maintenance can avert the need for extensive roof repairs from water leaks, damages, and other problems. These roofing maintenance tips will help your roof live to its expectations:
Removal of leaves and debris regularly
You can effectively protect your property from damage and prevent algae, moss, and lichen’s growth just by removing various roof debris. Your gutters cannot catch all of the leaves and debris that may settle on your roof, especially after heavy storms. Thus, it is essential to regularly check your roof for debris and remove it as soon as possible.
Maintaining and cleaning your gutters
Your gutters guard your roof by directing water flow and debris away from your roof and structure foundation. You must keep them free from leaves, branches, and other debris to make sure they do their job appropriately. If you have trees near your property, cleaning your gutters quarterly will keep them working as intended. If you do not have trees near your property, you can clean your gutters at least twice a year to keep water flowing correctly.
Handling algae, moss, and lichen annually
During warmer months, algae, moss, and lichen can grow in shady areas of your roof. This can lead to extensive damage and an overall displeasing appearance. You can easily eliminate these growths by having your roof cleaned by Acute Roofing. Once your roof is sanitized and dry, you can put in an application of preventive products that include copper and zinc that will keep them from growing back. When done annually, the products will effectively prevent the growth of all substances on your roof.
Inspecting your shingles each season
Different seasons come with problems unique to the weather during that time. Warm and humid months bring too much sun damage and cold winter months bring storms that can lead to leaks caused by melting ice and snow. With this in mind, it is significant to perform a thorough inspection of your shingles and other various roofing materials every season.
Look if your shingles have signs of excessive damage or wear, make sure to check if any are missing and have them replaced immediately. Address any problems you might find right away to prevent easily repairable issues from escalating.
Understanding the impact of sun exposure on your roof
Over time, sunlight can cause a devastating impact on the integrity of your roof. In areas with excessive sun, UV rays can heat your roofing materials and remove the protective oils from them. On the other hand, without enough sun, the risk of algae, moss, and lichen growth can increase considerably. By understanding the effects of the sun on your roof, you can work with Acute Roofing to immediately mitigate those factors.
Have Acute Roofing perform all maintenance and repairs on your roof
Only roofing professionals will know if you should replace or repair your roof. As a property owner, the best decision you can make when it comes to roof maintenance is trusting Acute Roofing to do them for you. Depending on Acute Roofing to do your roofing maintenance will be beneficial for both you and your home, but the most important reason is peace of mind.
