How Can I Protect The Roof Of My Bloomville Home?

4/20/2022 (Permalink)

Your roof is one of the most critical parts of your Bloomville home. It protects you and your belongings from wet weather, falling branches, and flying debris, as well as heat and sun. You will want to take protective steps to ensure that the roof of your Bloomville home stays in tip-top shape. 

What Are The Most Important Steps To Take In Preventing Damage To My Bloomville Roof? 

• Maintainance. The number one way to prevent damage to your roof and home is to perform regular maintenance. Replace loose and missing shingles right away. Caulking around pipes and vents should be done routinely.  Exposed metal will rust and deteriorate, so make sure those areas get painted or treated before this occurs. A damaged roof can quickly become a huge issue, allowing water to intrude into every part of your home or business and cause water damage. Inspecting your roof before and after bad weather will help you keep on top of its condition. 
• Trees and shrubs. Vegetation that overhangs your building should be trimmed back periodically, especially if some seem weak or have become a nuisance. Falling branches can damage a roof during inclement weather. If a tree or large shrub seems unstable, it might be time to have it completely removed for future safety concerns. 
• Gutters. Remove leaves, dirt, and debris from your gutters to avoid water damage from backed-up rain. Rain spouts can pull away from the building if they are overloaded or clogged with water and debris, damaging the corners of the roof and exterior walls. Prevention is always a good idea and one that can save you time and trouble. 

What Do I Do If My Bloomville Roof Becomes Damaged?

If you have experienced significant damage, you’ll need assistance. Here are some ways that a professional restoration company can help you recover:

• Professional Help. Call a professional restoration company like SERVPRO if you see curled or buckled shingles during your maintenance inspections. If shingles are missing, replace them right away to avoid leaks and future water damage. Water stains in the attic are a tell-tale sign that you might need a new roof; higher-than-average energy bills often tell the same story.

• Unpleasant Odors. When leaks and flooding happen due to a leaky roof, you can end up with some unpleasant odors that can be difficult to get rid of. We excel at odor removal and deodorization.

• Structural Assessment. SERVPRO can come to your Bloomville home and assess any damage that may have occurred. We’ll advise you on your next steps if any damage is found and help you get back to normal right away.
