Fall has finally arrived in Maryland, and with it comes hail damage, high winds, and heavy rain, and that can potentially damage your Anne Arundel County roof. However, there are a few things you can do to prepare your roof, like storm damage repairs from JC Services, for the season before it gets started.
Your roof is important, yet many of us don’t realize the extent to which extreme weather can affect its integrity. It’s critical not to skip out on your fall roof maintenance. If you spot problems during your roof maintenance, it may be time to schedule a professional roof inspection this fall.
Call the roofing experts at JC Services at 410-721-8105 to schedule a professional roof inspection in Anne Arundel County and learn how we can help keep your roof sturdy all year!
Inspect Your Attic
Did you know that having a poorly ventilated attic can shorten the lifespan of your roof? Poor attic ventilation can trap heat and moisture causing roof damage, mold growth and possible structural problems. Roof leaks can occur; this is why it is crucial to check your attic insulation. It’s also pivotal to search for any signs of moisture and mold in the rafters and attic during your professional roof inspection since it can point to water leakage from your roof.
Clean Out & Inspect Your Gutters
Cleaning out your gutters is also imperative in preventing severe damage to your house. If you discover insects crawling around in your gutters, there is a chance they are clogged. Animals such as mice and squirrels use the debris in clogged gutters to create their nests. If your gutters are clogged, water will build up on your roof and sit underneath your shingles, growing mold and decay.
Have you noticed your gutters sagging? If the gutters have not been cleaned for a long time, contact JC Services for a professional roof inspection in Anne Arundel County, MD. You may have shingle damage.
Replace Missing Roof Shingles
Roof shingle replacement might seem simple, but placing new shingles over old ones or utilizing the wrong nails can lead to further damage. The wrong type of shingle could fade, crack, or even increase algae! For instance, while inspecting a roof, walking on damaged shingles could trigger more damage and lead to roof leaks in the future. Because of these problems, many homeowners in Anne Arundel County hire the professionals at JC Services to inspect and replace missing roof shingles.
Trim and Eliminate Loose Tree Limbs
You must regularly trim trees hanging over your roof to prevent them from breaking after a storm. Even if the tree looks strong and healthy, a harsh storm can cause it to break and land on your roof. In particular, low-hanging branches can easily scrape your shingles and eliminate layers of asphalt.
The fallen leaves and twigs from these tree branches can also clog your gutters. Be extra careful with trimming overhanging branches if you have a cedar shake roof since they are susceptible to moisture buildup and need to breathe.
