How to Maintain Your Roof

Russell Chowdhury August 11, 2017 Construction Leave a Comment

When it comes to maintaining your roof, it’s important that you take certain steps to reduce the amount of damage that occurs over time. Your roof needs attention throughout the year to ensure that it can continue to protect the interior setting. Here are a few ways that you can provide a high level of care for your roof as a homeowner.

Check for Leaks

Leaks are prone to occur from time to time but need to be repaired immediately to prevent water damage that can occur to the building. You can look for leaks that need to be sealed by accessing the attic with a flashlight. Look for water stains that are present, which will indicate where leaks have formed. There may also be sunlight that is visible through the roof boards. Hosing off the roof will also allow you to find areas where water can get in. Hire a professional to perform Jacksonville roof repair to lift the roofing materials and apply cement underneath to fix the leak.

Inspect the Flashing

The flashing is installed on the skylights, vents, and chimney to prevent water from seeping into the building. The flashing should be inspected every six months to determine if it’s lifted or has become damaged.

Clean the Rain Gutters

The rain gutters can often be neglected, which can cause water to become backed up onto the roof. Clean the rain gutters by using a ladder to remove leaves or other types of debris that has accumulated. Maintaining the gutters will prevent leaks from forming by redirecting the water away from the house.

Prepare it for Each Season

The roof should be prepped for each season to ensure that it doesn’t become damaged due to various weather conditions. Keep the attic ventilated throughout the year and replacing missing shingles to keep the roof deck covered. You’ll also want to remove snow that settles onto the shingles to prevent it from freezing, which can cause ice dams to form. Cutting back tree branches in the fall or winter season will also prevent the roof from getting damaged when there are high winds.

Maintaining your roof is easy to perform with the right steps taken. By caring for the materials with the help of a professional, you can reduce the number of repairs that are needed and increase the lifespan of the structure.
