Maintenance Tips
Time for an Inspection
During the fall season, conduct a comprehensive roof inspection. Ensure you are comfortable with heights before conducting a roof inspection. Otherwise, call a professional roofing contractor to schedule an inspection.
For sloped roofs
- check for dark stains that may signify algae and fungus growth
- clean clogged gutters
- remove debris
- repair any damage to flashing
For flat roofs
- repair any flashing damage
- check for cracks in roofingfelt
- check for any spongy spots that may signify a water leak
- check condition of supports of air conditioners and other mechanical equipment secured to roof
Don't forget to check inside the building as well. Look for brown spots or rings on the ceiling or water stains on the wall. These signs might signify a roof leak.
Moss and Algae
Remove moss and algae from roof to prevent moisture damage and rot. Brush down the roof, using a scrub brush attached to a telescopic pole to detach the moss and algae from the roof. Use caution when moving on the roof; moss and algae make the roof extremely slippery.
