Top Maintenance Tips for Your Roofing

Your roof is important to protect your home and family from the weather, insects, falling objects, and animals. When it comes to roof repair on the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast Roofing is your go-to source. We can help you repair or restore your current roof or install a new one if necessary. Your roof should last for many years and you can guarantee a long life if you take good care of it, following the tips below.

Inspect regularly

At least twice a year, check your roof for problems that may lead to damage and necessary repairs. Check for missing or damaged shingles, loose or missing flashing, exposed components, broken or sagging gutters, roof granules, and drip edges for damage. If you notice any of these issues, address them immediately.

Clean your gutter

When gutters are clogged with debris, water can collect, which can damage your roof fascia and can be quite expensive to care for. You can clean your gutters a couple of times a year, but you can also call in professionals to do it for you.

Check the foliage

A storm can sometimes break a tree branch and if it is above your roof and it collapses, you could be facing some costly roof problems. Keep the trees in your outdoor space well-trimmed so they don't pose a risk to your roof. At the same time, check for algae and moss on your roof. Keep it from growing by keeping trees trimmed and debris removed from the roof. The growth of this plant can damage your roofing material, so it is best to keep it growing in the first place.

Check the putty

Your roof should have a strong sealant to maintain the seal between the roof and the fascia. Check the sealant frequently and if it appears to be wearing off or lifting any spots, give us a call to help you re-caulk it before you have a leak or structural issues to resolve.

Check the insulation

Insulation is important to help your roof keep moisture and weather out of your home. Check yours regularly and replace as needed. Keeping in humidity ensures that your roof is not damaged and lasts for a long time. Get in touch with the roofing experts at Sunshine Coast Roofing Roofing!
