Your roof is one of the largest parts of your home. It offers your home protection against harsh weather. Roofs are designed to last for many years, but after receiving daily punishment from the elements, eventually, it may require repair. The smallest leak can cause major damage, so roof maintenance is needed to protect your home and everything that lies within it. As with any problem, the sooner it is caught, the easier it will be to repair. If the damage is not detected, the problem will get worse and will create a larger and more expensive project.

Maintenance
To keep your roof in the best condition possible, there are some common problems that can be fixed before they get out of hand. Inspection is always the first place to start. A number of the most common problems can be found and easily fixed with a simple inspection. Every six months a roof should be inspected by a licensed and trained professional. Division 9 has professionals that know what to look for and will guarantee that nothing is overlooked.
A lot of the debris and damage that finds its way onto a roof comes from nearby trees. Leaves and branches are major culprits for roofing system damage. Leaves can clog gutters and drains resulting in mold growth and drainage issues. Branches can puncture the roof, creating holes that lead to leaks, that can compromise the stability of the roof. This can be managed by trimming the trees that are close to and taller than the house on a regular basis.
By keeping the trees trimmed it can prevent those leaves from getting into the gutter system, but they are not the only problem when it comes to clogged gutters. Moisture and mold can accumulate in the gutters when they are not draining properly. The mold and subsequent rust will eat away at the metal gutters and roofing material. It is important to never power wash your roof. The water pressure from a power washer can loosen tiles and cause other damage to your roof.
