Taking care of your roof doesn’t always require professional help. Here are a few DIY maintenance tips to keep your roof in great shape:
- Clean the Gutters: Clear debris regularly to prevent water damage and ice dams during winter.
- Trim Overhanging Branches: Prevent tree limbs from damaging shingles or clogging gutters with falling leaves.
- Check for Visible Damage: Inspect your roof for cracked, missing, or curling shingles after storms or strong winds.
- Clear Moss and Algae: Use a gentle cleaning solution to remove moss and algae, which can damage your roof over time.
- Inspect Flashing and Seals: Ensure the areas around chimneys, vents, and skylights are properly sealed to avoid leaks.
While these tips can help, major issues should always be handled by professionals like DUNDASROOFING.
