Roof Washing: 5 Ways to Keep your roof in Tip Top Shape

Roofs are an important part of your home’s exterior especially in Orlando, and they also serve as a protective barrier between you and the elements. Roofs can be damaged by strong winds, hailstorms, heavy snowfall, or even falling tree branches. Roofs that have not been cleaned in a while will accumulate dirt and moss which can lead to leaks in your ceiling when it rains. That is why roof washing is important for your home. This blog post provides 5 tips for keeping your roof looking good!

Check your gutter and downspouts for clogs

Roofing materials get dirty and clogged with debris and as water flows over it, this becomes a breeding ground for mold. Roofs can become slippery when they are wet or covered in ice because of the buildup on your roof shingles. Clean these out regularly to maintain safety around your home.

Roof Washing

If you have dirt build up from tree leaves or other pollutants blocking the surface of your home’s exterior, then pressure washing is an effective way to remove them before any damage occurs. The right kind of equipment be used by professionals roof cleaners so that no harm comes to the integrity of your house’s structure but if you do not want to hire someone else just yet there are many ways to use items found at home like a garden hose or a pressure washer to get the job done.

Roof Repair

If you have any damaged shingles such as those that are cracked, peeling, bubbling or curling then it is time for them to be replaced so they do not spread and put your entire house at risk of damage. Roofs can last between 15-20 years depending on their quality therefore if yours has been in service for longer than this number of years and there is visible wear then its best to replace them sooner rather than later. If you notice sagging where an area looks lowered because water may have run down into this spot causing damage over time as well these should also be addressed by roof repair specialists soon before major problems arise.

Make sure any tree branches are far away from the house to prevent damage to shingles or siding

It is a good idea to inspect the roof at least twice each year, once in mid-winter and again late summer. Roofing professionals recommend replacing your shingles every 20 years or so; inspect all flashing for damage including nail holes and loose seams that can cause leaks; check chimneys to make sure there are no gaps between where they meet up with the roofs of buildings next door. If you find any cracks or damaged areas on the roof, call a professional as soon as possible before further problems arise. Smaller issues such as flaking paint, broken gutters, and missing tiles should be promptly repaired. Roofs play an integral part of keeping homeowners safe from harsh weather conditions like and snowstorms.

Clean out your gutters, so rainwater doesn’t pool on the roof

If the gutters are clogged with leaves or stuck together in places that make it difficult to get water through them, then hire someone to wash and clean out all the gutters (if they’re not already). If there’s just some minor spots where rainwater isn’t flowing into the pipes that take it away from your house, don’t worry about cleaning those yourself—you aren’t likely going to do any more harm than good by trying. A professional will be able to tell if something needs repaired before you cause further damage.

Once everything is clear around your home and guttering system has been taken care of, it’s time to make sure that things are working correctly. Roofs can be very heavy and a lot of weight on the roof is not good for its integrity. You don’t want anything breaking or causing movement in your roof.

Get a professional inspection of your roof to get cleaned

Roofs can get dirty and if you want to keep your roof in tip top shape it is best that you hire a professional for an inspection of your roof at least once every five years. If there are any repairs needed, make sure they are done immediately because not doing repairs now could lead to leaks later down the road!

The next step after getting a roof washing service out to inspect your roofing system would be hiring another company or individual for small projects like replacing worn shingles, putting up new gutters, repairing siding or painting over peeling paint. Roof maintenance isn’t just about keeping dirt off; many roofs will start showing signs of wear when exposed too much sun.
