Maintaining Your Roof Throughout the Year
Claim
Consultants, LLC helps residential and commercial property owners repair their
home after storm damage. Here are a few things that you can do yourself to
protect your roof during the year:
Remove
loose debris
This
could be branches, leaves, etc. It is safest to do this during a dry, sunny
day.
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
