A leaky roof starts as a damp inconvenience but can lead to a costly repair. A poorly-maintained roof may not show obvious signs of leaks or weaknesses until there’s a partial collapse. Preventative maintenance, including shingle maintenance, is the best way to ensure that your home is protected by a sturdy roof. Especially after a heavy summer storm, it’s critical to perform periodic preventative maintenance on your roof.
Shingle Maintenance
A roofing company can help with damaged tiles by patching or replacing the tar and shingles. However, as a homeowner, you have responsibility for the general upkeep of your roof. A little attention keeps your roof shingles looking good and performing well. It’s important to remove leaves, branches, moss, and algae from your roof on a regular basis. This keeps the covering of asphalt shingles from deteriorating. Roof flashing should also be inspected periodically to ensure it is in good condition and free of debris. Check shingles to ensure none are damaged, loose, or missing. Pay attention not only to shingles and flashing but other key components, such as eaves-troughs, and ventilation.
