4 Things to Do to Spring Clean Your Home's Roof

A few more weeks and we will be saying goodbyes to Winter and welcoming the breezy and warm Spring season. This also means we all will be carrying out spring cleaning in our houses and office spaces. And when you think of spring cleaning, mostly we think of cleaning our closets, garage, kitchen space, and everything inside our house. But what about the roof of our house? Chances are most of us forget to spring clean our home's roof. If you ask professional Angus roofers, they strongly recommend spring cleaning your home's roof. Here’s what you should do. 

Clean the Gutters

Your home's roof gutters are an essential part of your home's roof. These gutters help remove any excess water ensuring no water accumulation and no growth of mold and mildew. However, if they are clogged, water won’t escape and damage your house roof. Hence, spring cleaning your gutters is highly important to prevent water damage to the house roof. 

Roof Inspection

Your spring-cleaning checklist must include roof inspection from professional Muskoka roofing contractors. Roof inspection is important to determine if there is any existing damage to the roof. If so, it can be repaired immediately before it gets worse. Having a house roof is critical to ensure the residents are safe and the structural integrity of the house is maintained. Find out and replace any missing, curling, blistering, stained, and buckling shingles to ensure your house is in great shape for the time to come. 

Look out for Mold

House roofs are prone to mold growth due to accumulation of water, ice or snow. Hence, when you are spring cleaning your house roof, look out for any mold growth. If you find a small area with mold growth, you can easily clean it. However, if you neglect it, mold growth can seep into the roof foundation causing detrimental effects that may lead to roof replacement. 

Trim Tree Branches

Trees with long and heavy branches are one of the major threats to your house roof. If a branch falls on the roof, it can cause a lot of damage and may result in a new roof installation. And you might not have the budget for it immediately. Hence, to avoid such a situation, trimming the tree branches before they get too big or weak, is the best way to prevent roof damage. 

Wrapping it Up

Spring cleaning your house roof can increase the life of your house and save you a lot of trouble in the long run. Hence, make sure to include roof cleaning in your spring-cleaning checklist this year.
