What Is Involved In Roof Maintenance?
Inspecting roofs for any visible problems
Roof inspections involve checking the roof for any damage or problems. We inspect roof using:
Ladders
We inspect the roof using a ladder. This allows us to see any damage or problems that may exist on your rooftop and also identify whether there is water pooling, which could be an indication of mould growth. The condition of the shingles can provide insight as well – if it has been more than ten years since you replaced them, this would indicate the potential for leaks in the future due to their age.
Satellite imaging equipment
We use satellite imagery where available to locate problem areas such as missing tiles and exposed nails, and doing so provides valuable information regardless of how serious these issues might appear at first glance. If you’ve had recent hail activity within your area, then we will need to inspect the roof personally to ensure no damage has occurred.
Gutter cleaning and repair, replacement, or installation if needed
We take great care in inspecting the gutters, noting any debris that has built up over time or even fallen out completely. This can cause blockages and water damage to your roofing membrane if not attended to quickly enough.
Checking the roof for any loose or missing shingles
We check each shingle thoroughly as we go, removing those that are breaking away from their adhesive base, which could lead to further problems. We check all fasteners to ensure they’re secure and not corroded by rust. This is a common problem with older roofs where metal has been exposed to harsh weather conditions over time and becomes weakened and brittle. If there is evidence of the damage, such as rips in the membrane, we will take care of it at no extra cost.
Moss removal from roof shingles
Moss is a real problem for rooftops when it’s allowed to grow unchecked because it absorbs huge amounts of moisture, putting an immense amount of pressure on roof structures and accelerating decay and wear and tear at a rapid rate. One good rainfall could be all that’s needed to start this process down its destructive path, so we remove moss as soon as we spot it growing anywhere on the surface area; we know how important, regular maintenance is for roofs.
Roof cleaning
Regular and thorough roof maintenance is the key to prolonging its life, so we recommend that you have your roof cleaned at least once a year or as needed. We use eco-friendly chemicals for this service because it’s safer for both people and pets in the home and better for Mother Nature!
