Here’s How to Keep Your Roof in Good Shape
Although your roofing system may seem like an invincible structure, it requires care and maintenance, just like any other part of your home. The fact that it does more than shield your home from the elements shows just how important it is.
Signature Exteriors shares how to keep your roof in good working condition throughout the year.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
Ventilation is what allows your roof to breathe. It keeps the roof from accumulating moisture and getting damaged by it during the warmer months. On top of that, it also keeps it from drying out and going brittle during the colder season. Proper ventilation also has a positive effect on your home’s energy efficiency, so make sure your roof has enough.
Preventive Roof Repair
Most roof problems, such as leaks, can grow in size in just a matter of weeks. They also fly under the radar most of the time, only becoming noticeable when they’re doing considerable damage to the roof.
The best way to safeguard your roofing system and keep it in good condition throughout the year is by doing preventive roof repair on it. Not only does it allow you to address problems when they’re still small and cheaper to repair, but it also helps extend your roof’s service life.
Clean the Gutters
Blocked and clogged gutters aren’t just a leak hazard, they add unnecessary weight to the roof – often physically damaging the shingles or loosening them as they pull the roof down from the edge. Keep your gutters clean and free from blockage and you’ll avoid this potentially costly roofing problem.
