Your roof is the most important and yet overlooked part of your home. Every responsible homeowner takes the time to clean the interior of their house—whether it’s vacuuming your carpets, mopping the floors or cleaning your kitchen and bathrooms. But many people in Coral Springs and Broward County will go years without ever addressing their roof. If you live in South Florida, you’re going to eventually have roofing issues. But there are some preventative measures everyone can take to keep their roof maintained. One of the best ways to maintain the quality of your roof is to keep it clean from debris.
The simple fact is roofs need regular care. Now that the rainy season is over, this is the perfect time to have a professional roofing contractor perform an inspection. Finding potential problems now will save you money for a roof repair or replacement in the future. Another benefit of hiring a professional is to prevent any safety issues. Don’t try to climb onto to the roof yourself. Many of the problems roofers can spot can’t be seen by a person is who not properly trained.
Make sure your gutters are properly checked. Gutters are responsible for collecting rain water. But if they’re clogged with leaves and debris, it can lead to water saturation and potential damage. Use a blower or a broom to clean out the debris. Use water pressure from a garden hose to clean out debris from downspouts. Many houses in South Florida have trees in close proximity. Make sure the tree branches are trimmed and don’t touch your house.
Debris can be removed in a variety of ways. It depends on the type of debris, how much debris, and whether or not some of the roofing material needs to be removed. One of the most common methods of removing debris is to blow it from the roof. It is not uncommon for the debris to sift into the attic or garage spaces through vents
If you find debris on your roof, the best thing to do is have it removed by a professional. Debris is the main cause for impeding the flow of water on your roof. Just a little bit of debris can cause significant damage. It’s important to prevent water from accumulating into the structure. This will eventually cause leaks and can lead to the rotting of the roof or the interior of the house.
