Roof maintenance takes place in both the interior and exterior areas of your home. Here are a few tips on how to maintain the integrity of your roof!
Outdoors:
- Trim back overgrown vegetation.
- Remove crinkled caulking & roofing cement; then reapply.
- Clean off all debris from roof and gutters; hose down.
- Check flashing (metal areas) for warps and holes. Secure it to siding or other surface and reapply roofing cement.
- Apply roofing cement under loose asphalt shingles to secure them.
Indoors:
- Check vents & make sure they are clear of obstructions. What does this have to do with your roof? Without them, both heat & moisture will build up in your attic causing damage to your roof and support beams.
- Install attic insulation to prevent icing.
- Install additional vents to prevent the formation of icicles. Remember: You should have one square foot each of intake and exhaust ventilation for each 300 sq. foot of attic space.
- Inspect your ceiling & dry wall from the baseboards up. If you see or feel moisture and/or discolored paint, your roof could have a leak.
