Roof Issues to be Aware of

Maintaining a sound roof is one of the most important tasks a homeowner can perform. Follow these tips to catch roof issues before they lead to bigger problems – and the need for costly repairs.

•	Look for any missing, loose or damaged shingles as well as any cracked or worn roof sealant. Extensive repairs should be handled by a qualified professional roofing contractor.
•	Trim tree branches that hang too closely to or directly above the roof. Leaves and other debris can accumulate, retain moisture, and damage shingles.
•	Since falling bricks can damage a roof, inspect the chimney for missing or cracked bricks or mortar.
•	Clogged gutters can create structural issues. Clean gutters by scooping out debris with a garden trowel and then rinsing toward the downspout with a hose.

Finally, to prevent falls from occurring, perform all maintenance tasks on a day when it's sunny and the roof is dry. Here's hoping you find this information useful.
