Conduct an Inspection
If you don’t inspect your roof, how will you know if it is damaged? Before we start any maintenance or repairs, it is important to inspect your roof and attic. These pests can cause damage to your roof, eat away at shingles and even cause irreparable damage to wood. Gravel and moss can block gutters, cause shingles to curl or crack, and even build up underneath them. You should have moss and algae removed from your roof as soon as you notice it.
You should also inspect your attic for mold and moisture. Check for watermarks or discoloration on walls, ceilings, and rafters. You should also inspect the ventilation in the attic. Bad ventilation can cause the attic temperature to rise up to 150 degrees in the summer. This heat buildup can reduce the roof’s service life.
Clean up
Remove any twigs and branches that have accumulated on your roof. These debris can hinder your roof’s ability to reflect the sun’s rays, and cause your home to heat up. You can remove debris by yourself, but remember safety first. Never power wash your roof.
These same materials can clog gutters. Squirts and birds also love to make their nests in gutters. Give your gutters a thorough cleaning to prevent mold growth, decay, and sagging.
Also, you want to find the source of all this trash. If there are twigs and branches on your roof, you probably have a large tree nearby. Tree limbs hanging over your home should be removed. A strong storm could cause large branches to fall through your roof. Low-hanging branches could even strip your shingles.
Repair and Replacement
Repairs should be made immediately if you find damaged flashings, flashings, ridges or any other part of your roof. You should replace damaged shingles. Do not just place new shingles over existing shingles.
