Gutter Cleaning: Essential Elements in Maintaining Your Roof
All too often, a home’s roof is overlooked until something goes wrong. Whether it is lifted shingles from a recent storm or leaking inside of the home, our experts at Pro Exteriors are here to tell you that you don’t have to wait until these costly situations occur. Instead, regular roof maintenance (including gutter cleaning) can keep your roof properly functioning and your home protected.
Annual Inspections
Like other elements of your home, your roof requires an annual inspection. Even if you think it is in proper order, a team of professionals can spot the earliest signs of potential problems and damage. For instance, a cracked shingle can be hard to spot from the ground level. However, if left unchecked, the situation can progress allowing water to penetrate the surface.
Gutter Cleaning
As mentioned, one of our favorite elements of roof maintenance is gutter cleaning! While you may not associate a gutter system with the integrity of the roof, the two go hand and hand. As the system that channels water away from your roof and home, gutters are truly one of the most important components.
If clogged, proper drainage can not occur - leaving your home open to potentially costly and devastating repair needs. Backed up water flow, ice dams, and so on can all cause damage to shingles and may allow water to enter your home. If water is allowed in, you can face mold and mildew growth, compromised air quality, structural damage and rot, and in some instances - foundational damage as well.
Addressing Storm Damage
This category is another crucial component to protecting the integrity of your home. While protecting your home from storm damage is crucial, what you do after is even more so. Your best bet? Call in the professionals to assess and assist with insurance storm damage claims and immediate repairs.
