Fall Maintenance for your roof
Fall will be here in Arizona in just a few weeks… we hope so anyways! That means cooler weather and falling leaves. As we go through the hustle and bustle of what the next couple of seasons bring, take some time to consider your roof. Get your roof prepared for the fall season before getting carried away with holiday shopping. Some fall roof maintenance tips you can follow are listed below.
Clear the Gutters- Clear and clean the gutters of leaves, twigs, and debris. Over time, debris can buildup and block the gutters. When the gutters are clogged, water can not flow down them as intended. If the water pools on your roof because of this, damage from excessive moisture can occur.
Inspect Attic- Take a look around in the attic. IF you see insulation covering vents, clear it. It’s important there is air circulation in the attic. Also, if you see evidence of rodents, birds, or termites, can them removed.
Trim Trees- If you have tall trees around your home, be sure to cut back any branches that over hang. When branches fall onto the roof, they can cause damage. To avoid this, cut them back.
Clear the Roof- While you’re up there, clear the roof of any debris, branches, leaves, or twigs after trimming the trees. Having a buildup of this can eventually get into your gutters and as listed earlier, you don’t want those getting clogged.
Roof Inspection- Find your local roofing company to schedule a roof inspection. During the roof inspection, the roofer will look through your roof top to bottom taking notes of concerns and damages. They will present you with options to correct the issues. Getting these problems corrected sooner rather than later, reduces the likelihood for extensive damages that will result in costly repairs or replacement.
