After the cold, harsh winter, your roof probably needs some attention and maintenance. As you begin the spring cleaning process, don’t neglect your roof. There may be damage, blockages, or even leaks that may need attention quickly. Keep reading to find out more about spring roof maintenance, and why it’s important!
Inspect Your Roof
Check out your roof and see if you notice any debris or big limbs that are stuck, or any chipped or cracked shingles. Another important place to inspect is your gutters. Check for any blockages and see if the gutters are draining correctly. Make sure there aren’t any branches that are hanging over your home that could lead to major roof damage, scratching, or even loose shingles. Check your attic for any leaks that may have occurred during the winter, and make sure the insulation is not wet or moldy. Other signs to check for are water stains on the walls or ceilings, and a damp, musty smell.
Consider Spring Roof Maintenance
Once you have determined the condition of your roof, it’s time to begin getting your roof ready for spring. Clear any leaves, branches, and debris away and make note of any shingle damage that may need to be repaired. Debris traps moisture, increasing your risk of water damage, leaks, and even unwanted mold and moss growth on your roof. Fall and winter result in a ton of falling leaves, so there may be an accumulation of buildup in your gutters. Clear away any blockages and ensure water can drain properly. We also encourage you to consider landscaping and trimming trees around your home to protect your roof this spring.
