Owning a home is a big investment that needs to be protected at all times. While many people don’t give it a second thought, a home’s roof needs to be maintained in order for it to provide maximum protection against the forces of nature that beat down upon it every day. Extreme temperatures, wind, rain, snow, ice, and hail can all wear down the surface of a roof and leave it vulnerable. Roofers in Bellevue WA make it a priority to repair and maintain roofs for residential and commercial customers to keep this important investment safe and secure at all times.
Roof Inspection
A roof inspection should be done after any major storms pass through the area. Severe wind is the main reason that a roof fails and an inspection can detect any issues that a storm has caused before it can do more damage to the property. A roof inspection will check for any loose, missing or broken shingles, as well as examine the other roofing components, such as the flashing, turbine fans, and the gutters. A roof inspection can determine a roof’s integrity and offer advice if any issues need to be addressed.
Roof Repairs
A roof may require repairs being made at some point. Broken or missing shingles should be replaced right away before water or pests can make their way into the substructure below them. When a roof is not watertight, moisture can get below the roofing material which may result in wood rot and mold growth. If this happens, a roof can be severely compromised and more costly repairs may need to be made.
Roof Maintenance
It’s important to keep a roof clean in order to prevent issues such as moss and debris from weakening and wearing down the roofing materials. Any moss or built up dirt on a roof should be washed off, gutters should be cleaned out to remove debris that has accumulated in them, the flashing should be checked to ensure that it is securely in place, and the turbines should be examined for proper operation. Properly caring for a roof can extend its life and reduce the need for more expensive repairs.
