What is Roof Maintenance and Why is it Important?

Weather is a powerful force when it comes to your roof. During summer your roof is exposed to extreme temperatures while during winter it’s exposed to rain, storms and strong winds. For this reason, maintaining your roof is imperative. Roof maintenance involves a thorough inspection of your roof and repairing any damage, leaving your roof in the best condition possible.

Maintain trees around your home

While trees around your home are beautiful, it is encouraged to keep them maintained. During winter, strong winds and storms can cause tree branches to snap and fall or whole trees to uproot and fall onto your roof. If you have trees on your property that have overgrown, are extremely high or have died it is encouraged to have them trimmed or removed to help eliminate the risk of them falling and damaging your roof.

Keep gutters clean

The function of your gutters is to drain rainfall from your roof and stop it getting into your home. Gutters become home to dirt, sand, debris and leaves and for this reason they should be kept clean.  Regularly cleaning your gutters allows rainfall to drain quickly and efficiently away from your home.

Don’t delay having leaks repaired

A few drips of water from your ceiling when it rains is normal right? Wrong!
