Practice Preventive Maintenance
No matter what type of roof you have, do an inspection of your roof twice a year. This helps you pinpoint small problems before they become big, wet disasters, saving you money and aggravation. No other part of your home gets more abuse from the elements than your roof, and a little preventive maintenance can help extend its life. Here’s what to look for:
- Debris - Clean up any leaves, tree branches, and anything else that accumulates on your roof. Debris that holds water will shorten the life of your roof.
- Shingles - Look for any loose shingle tabs. Apply roof cement to secure the shingle.
- Gutters - Make sure that gutters and downspouts are clear and draining properly. Run water through them to test.
- Trim - Any tree branches that are overhanging your roof should be trimmed. We reccommend 4 ft. minimum.
Common Causes of Roof Problems
- No routine roof maintenance program.
- The effects of weather and air pollution.
- Damage caused by high winds and flying debris.
- Faulty roof design.
- Poor maintenance of roof flashings. Flashings provide a watertight seal between the surface of the roof and anything projecting from the roof, such as a chimney.
- Inadequate drainage system.
- Improperly installed rooftop signs, antennas, satellite dishes, and similar equipment.
Roof Damage May be Covered by Your Homeowner’s Insurance
Repair of damage caused by natural disasters is covered by most homeowner’s insurance policies. If you have a storm damaged roof (hail,wind), or a roof damaged by a falling tree, you may only have to pay the deductible called for in your insurance policy.
