Keep Landscaping Maintained

One of the easiest things home and business owners can do to protect their roofing investment from unnecessary damages is by keeping an eye on landscaping materials around the structure. Trees that overhang the structure are often at risk for damaging shingle roofing materials. Once wind and strong storms blow through the your area, you can be sure that a tree branch or two are going to damage roofs that are in close proximity. But more often than not, it’s not the strong winds that do the most damages, it’s the weak winds that do.

Monthly Maintenance Checklist

  • Remove leaf debris from roof valleys, against skylights and behind chimneys
  • Clean gutters and downspouts from all debris
  • Sweep soffits and fascia clean and clear of all spider webs, dirt and grime
  • Cut all tree branches at least six feet back from the entire structure
  • Keep vines and other landscaping trimmed away from windows, doors, soffit and fascia
  • Ensure proper drainage is in working order around the drip line of your roofs overhang
  • Perform a visual inspection of all roofing materials
    Broken, Missing or Damaged Shingles - Repair these inexpensive roofing troubles quickly before expensive roof leaks have a chance to happen.
  • Cracked, Split or Peeling Sealants - These areas of the roof tend to quickly decay due to their shorter lifespan and should be inspected regularly to prevent roof leaks.
  • Rust or Other Heavy Discolorations - Stains and other dark marks can be a sure sign that roofing sealants or flashing troubles are just right around the corner.
  • Damaged Soffit and Fascia - Aluminum/vinyl soffit and fascia can be damaged in high winds and storms easily. Check for problems regularly to prevent future roof leaks.
  • Clogged or Misaligned Gutters - When gutters and downspouts are clogged with debris or improperly installed, they can cause roof leaks. Be sure to inspect these areas often to prevent expensive roof repairs.
  • Window, Siding and Door Leaks - Often overlooked, these sections of your home or business can act like a roof leak, but can end up costing you a fortune if not taken care of right away.

This is because the continual motion of a windy day may make swaying branches rub against roofing materials and wear holes into the surface of the shingle, ensuring a roof leak takes place without your knowledge. Tree branches aren’t the only problem either. Leaf litter can build up in valleys, behind chimneys and around skylights. This allows two dangerous roofing problems to take place. One, water flow may be blocked and force water to enter between shingles and into your attic space. And two, water can cause leaf materials to rot and wood fungus to grow on shingles, ensuring their timely demise.
