As you begin spring cleaning and beautifying, take a moment to see how your roof fared during the winter. Winter can be a tough time for your home. If your roof has suffered any damage, it could cause even more problems in spring. It is time to prepare your home for the beautiful spring. As a homeowner, you can prepare your roof for spring and summer storms.
Roof Maintenance Tips For Spring
Check and clean your gutters
Maintaining clean, clear gutters is important. Remove any debris that may have accumulated in your gutters over the winter. Check the walls surrounding your gutters, and the area under the eaves to see if there are any water spots or stains. It could indicate that your gutters do not allow water to drain freely.
Check Your Attic
You can easily scan your attic on your own. Check the attic insulation for mildew and water stains. Also, check the undersides of the roof decks and rafters for black marks and mold. If you find mold or mildew, it could be a sign that your roof is leaking.
Trim your trees
The spring is the perfect time to check your trees for weak or broken branches. To avoid damaging your roof, remove any limbs at risk of falling on your roof.
After you have done all of this, you may want to contact a roofing contractor who can do a thorough inspection. It’s not recommended for safety reasons that the homeowner climbs onto the roof. Let the professionals handle it. When your roofer arrives, they will:
Examine the Shingles
Check your roof for loose, curled, or missing shingles. You may need some work depending on what the roofer finds. To avoid costly repairs or future damage, it is best to leave any roof repairs to a roofing contractor.
Inspect key areas
Roofers will inspect the chimney, skylights, and plumbing vents on the outside for any signs of damage or wear. This includes the boots and seals.
Calling a professional roofer in Greenville SC for a complete roof inspection is a great idea. It will give you peace of mind, and help to prevent future expensive maintenance problems. Check your homeowners insurance policy if your roof has been damaged by Mother Nature. Some policies will cover the cost of repairs.
