Maintaining your home's roof
- Keep tree branches trimmed away from your roof line because they cause damage when they rub against your roof.
- Branches can also provide a highway for insects, squirrels, and other animals to access your roof, which can lead to damage and major repairs.
- Ensure roof is clean and free of leaves or other debris, as these can accumulate, causing a dam. The water backs up and leaks underneath your shingles, causing damage to the roof decking, and can leak inside the home causing damage inside as well.
- Keep gutters well cleaned out to ensure a free flow of water off the roof.
- Repair or replace missing, worn, or damaged shingles. Making small repairs can head off major problems that could impact your roof’s effectiveness and lifespan.
- Never use a power washer on your roof, as this can damage your shingles. Remove debris with your hands, a broom, or a leaf blower. Always use appropriate safety precautions when you are on your roof, as a fall can cause serious or fatal injury.
- Have your roof inspected by a professional after a hailstorm or other severe weather event. Call Kluck Construction at 512-796-4533 for a free inspection and estimate.
