Most people just assume that their roof is in good condition. If there aren’t obvious signs that something is amiss, things tend to be out of sight, out of mind. Taking that approach to roof maintenance, however, can be a big mistake. If you don’t address small issues when they arise, they can quickly become major – and expensive. Before you assume that your Greenville roof is ready for the fall and winter, it is best to verify!
The Summer and Spring Months Were Brutal
In Greenville, South Carolina this past spring and summer weren’t the worst hurricane months we’ve experienced, but that doesn’t mean that we didn’t get our fair share of storms and high winds. Regardless of your roof’s age, damage can result from flying debris and harsh weather. The only way to know for sure what is happening on top of your roof is to have someone inspect it to make sure it’s good to go for the winter months ahead.
Roof Washing in Greenville, South Carolina
For not just roof maintenance, but home maintenance as well, nothing provides more value for very little money than roof washing. Pressure washing is a no for roofs, but soft washing is a must! Soft washing uses a gentle stream of water combined with solvents that remove mold and algae. If you allow algae and mold to grow on your roof, they can lead to rot and damage. Soft washing is an excellent way to prevent unnecessary damage, and it also boosts your curb appeal!
Gutter Cleaning
Gutters are necessary to move water away from the foundation of your home, where it can lead to foundation issues and landscaping damage. If you don’t clean out your gutters regularly, however, they can’t do what they are supposed to. It is important to have your gutters cleaned biannually to keep them in good shape. If you want a little more assurance that they will work, install gutter guards and prevent dirt and debris from building up in the first place.
A Little Roof Maintenance Goes a Long Way
As with most things in life, prevention is always better than paying for repairs afterward. The best way to ensure that you extend the life of your roof is to address any small problems before they become expensive big ones. Things like flashing issues, pop-up nails, and rotten wood parts and pieces on your roof can lead to unnecessary damage. Roof Savers can help save the life of your roof by manually addressing all of the vulnerabilities we see.
