Remove loose debris

General inspection and repair
This can mean a plethora of things such as checking for stains that might indicate leakage, loose, moldy, worn, cracked or peeling shingles and even missing or loose flashing, nails or metal roof bolts. If you think it might be more than a simple fix, contact Claim Consultants, LLC today for an inspection.

Moss and Mold removal
Gently spray a moss remover and cleaner to keep your gutters free of blockages.

Soffits, fascia, gutters and downspouts
While wearing gloves, remove debris from gutters and downspouts. Check for missing caulk, peeling paint, signs of rotting, holes, cracks, missing gutter sections and leaks, repairing as needed.

Chimneys, skylights and vent openings
Check for missing or cracked bricks or mortar, then repair and seal the chimney with a masonry or chimney water repellant. Also take the time to clean, inspect, and repair vent outlets and skylights if necessary.

Maintaining your roof and inspecting for repairs can be a hard and time-consuming job, however it can save you money and a possible insurance claim in the future. If you notice during your inspection that the repairs are more extraneous, call Claim Consultants, LLC today. http://www.claimconsultantsllc.com/ask-us
