Prevent Moisture

Moisture is one of your roof’s biggest enemies. Most of the time because any leakage usually goes unnoticed./ it then soaks up in the insulation and before you know it, enters your home and spots your wall or ceiling. This speeds up energy losses hence speeding up wear and tear.

Prevent Leaks

Leaks are more intense than moisture. Some of the causes of leaks include broken shingles, cracked tiles, or warped metals. This exposes your roof to some elements, decreasing the lifespan of your roof. Prolonged leak damage may result in a high cost in repair, or even replacement, which could have been avoided by roof maintenance.

Extend the Lifespan of Your Roof

The whole purpose of roofing inspections and roofing maintenance is to increase your roof’s lifespan. Checking out for any damages on the roof earlier on and ensuring that any small problems are fixed allows the roof to stay healthy and in good condition for a longer time. 

Saves Money

Cleaning your roof on time, regular inspection, repairs at early stages, and such measures may cost you some time and money, but nothing to compare to the cost you will incur if you were not taking care of it and the damage is bigger. 

Roof Maintenance checklist

Here are some crucial tips recommended by certified connecticut roofers to ensure your roof remains in excellent condition.

Always Clean your Roof

Everyday elements, debris, leaves, dust, and when snow (during winter) lands on your roof, all of these have their own negative effects on your roof. This includes providing a healthy environment for moss and algae to grow, which may cause moisture and leakages, and more.

Clean Your Gutters Regularly

Gutters are meant to help you collect dirt, leaves, and debris, from your roof. If they are well maintained and kept in good condition, they play a big role in redirecting water, leaves, and debris away from your roof. Clean gutters do their jobs better. Make sure to clean on a regular basis, at least twice or thrice a year.

Inspect Every Season

Each season comes with its own unique problem. Hot seasons bring a lot of sun damage while the cold season brings about snowstorms, which causes moisture and leaks. It is therefore important to ensure a thorough inspection of the shingles for any potential damage and required repairs, every season.

Consult with your Roofing Experts

While you can do your roofing inspections yourself, chances are, you are going to miss important spots and potentially damaged areas because you are not an expert.

The next thing you want to look at is experience and expertise. You want to make sure that your roofers have been in the industry long enough to have the required skills and experience. Also, inquire about their specialization if any. Make sure they are licensed, have their insurance, and all the other paperwork necessary.
