Roof Care: Things You Didn’t Know Could Endanger Your Roof

For obvious reasons, you should be more concerned about proper roof care. It’s pricey to keep on buying new ones, so a lot of thought and effort should be placed on the maintenance of structures. 

Not a lot of attention is usually given to roof care. No matter what type of roof you have, some level of maintenance should be done quarterly or annually. It’s best to never compromise on the most essential structure of your home. 

While some rely on their local roofer for maintenance and repair, it’s still important to gain knowledge about what may or may not damage your roof so you’d know when to call your handymen. 

Things That Can Damage Your Roof

Trees

If you live in a place where trees hover over your home, it’s best to take a look at your roof every once in a while. Trees are actually great to have in backyards and in subdivisions, but when storms come, it may cause harm to you and your home. 

It’s also good to have tree branches trimmed every now and then with the permission of your local authorities, of course. This is to protect your home from being damaged because of falling branches when the winds become too strong or the tree’s limbs become too fragile. 

Moss

If it’s been raining hard where you’re at, it’s best to check up on your roof for any signs of moss build up. While moss grows slowly, one shouldn’t be too lax about it. This can weaken your roof as it grows and may lead to bigger damage in the long run. 

Moss collects water and can soften your roof until it would cause leakage on the inside of your houses. 

Algae

Compared to moss, which appears during rainy seasons or in wet places, algae is common in humid spots and in tropical areas. So if you’re somewhere sunny, it’s best to check for these damaging greens on your rooftops.

While it’s not as damaging alone, when it appears together with the moss, it can be twice as threatening to the life of your roofing. 

Hail

It’s not only the larger hails that can damage your roofing. Even if it comes in small spots, it can still pose some danger. You can never be too careful. It can cause roof leaking as time passes, so it’s best to look out for this once in a while. 

Heat

While this is already public knowledge, enumerating it as part of this list is how we keep the public informed. There’s nothing you can do about it because you can’t block the sun yourself, but it’s best to get your roof checked up every now and then as the UV rays pose a big threat to roof health. 

The heat, plus the constant change in weather as well, can contribute to the deterioration of your roof that can lead to intense cracking. 

Debris

The level of worry you should have on debris would be proportional to what type of roof you have. The presence of debris on your roof can increase the damage exponentially. So it’s best to let your local roofer or roofing company take a look at your roof during the springtime after it has overcome intense weather conditions.

Conclusion

If you haven’t realized it yet, the roof over your head is an essential part of your house structure, and that means proper roof care is a must. It’s important to have a local roofer on call for intense situations, but when you’re just building your home, investing in high-quality roofing is the best safety net you can have for your home. 

If you’re worried about the intense financing needs in getting the best roofing for your home, Quality Discount Roofing & Construction is your new best friend.
