Shencorp Inc is your best commercial roofing service in Virginia, and we care about keeping your home in good condition. Fall is a beautiful time of year, but this season can also be hard on your roof. To make sure your roof stays in good condition this Fall and Winter, our experts have come up with a list of 3 tips for roof maintenance. Follow these 3 tips to keep your roofing intact and strong all season long.
1. Check Chimney
Make sure that you have your chimney thoroughly cleaned and inspected at the beginning of Fall. Residue leftover from fireplaces from the Winter season can cause a house fire in left for too long. If you are using your chimney regularly, then you need to have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
2. Check Gutters
Debris from the Spring and Summer months can pile up fast. Lots of gunk such as leaves, seeds, and growing plants can gunk up your gutters and make drainage virtually impossible. If your drains are clogged then there is nowhere for the water to go. This can cause intensive water damage during the Fall and Winter months. To ensure that this does not happen, make sure you clean them thoroughly. After you clean out your gutters, run some water through to make sure it’s flowing nicely. Working gutters are going to be very important for any upcoming rain storms or snow storms.
3. Clear Roof of Debris
The best way to determine if your roof is holding up is to physically get up there and take a look. Do a walk through and look for loose shingles, missing shingles, or generally damaged shingles. You should also look to see if you have any plants or biological matter growing on your roof. If something looks like it’s out of order and beyond your capabilities, you should contact a professional.
