Summer is a great time to enjoy outdoor activities and soak up the sun, especially if you live in southern California. However, with its warm weather and high temperatures, summer is a time of the year when your roof requires even more attention than usual. With that in mind, today we bring you some practical and easy-to-follow tips to keep your roof in excellent shape this summer.
1. Inspect Your Roof
The first step in maintaining your roof is to identify any potential problems. After winter, your roof may show damage such as broken shingles, leaks, or clogged gutters. Walk around your house and look for any signs of visible damage or wear and tear. Check your attic for signs of water damage, such as mold or mildew on the walls or ceiling. If any issues require immediate attention, contact a professional to have them fixed before they escalate.
2. Clean Gutters
Clogged gutters are a common source of leaks and water damage. You can prevent clogging by cleaning your gutters every season.
During the summer season, clean your gutters to remove any debris that may have accumulated over the spring. Also, make sure the downspouts are directing the water away from your home’s foundation to prevent water damage issues.
3. Trim Overhanging Trees
During summer, overhanging tree branches can cause scratches and damage to your roof’s surface. By trimming any tree branches that come within close proximity to your roof, you will reduce debris and protect the integrity of your roof’s shingles.
4. Check Your Attic
Your attic is an important component of your home, but also one most homeowners can easily overlook. Before the summer heat kicks in, be sure to check your attic and look for signs of damage. Remember that noticing roofing issues early will ensure a comfortable summer while keeping repair costs low.
