Remember to: • Inspect Your Roof • Twice a year (spring and fall) do a visual, from- the ground inspection. Look for these problem areas. • Lifting or missing shingles or tiles • Damaged drip edge • Buckling, loose or missing flashing • Missing or exposed fasteners • Sagging or broken gutter • Piles of granules • Clean The Gutters • Call in an expert to do this a few times a year- and especially before a big storm. Otherwise, water can back up and rot the fascia. • Trim The Trees • One good storm can send branches falling down into your roof. • Look for Moss and Algae • Remove Debris • Trim overhanging branches • Look for ponding water • Re-Caulk, If Necessary • Call in and expert if you see blistering or missing caulk. • Check The Insulation • Proper insulation and ventilation in your attic can reduce moisture. |
