Your roof is your primary line of defense against the elements. Any problems with your roofing system can easily lead to more serious problems in other parts of your home. This is why protecting your roof, including your gutters and downspouts, are an important aspect of roofing maintenance.
Unfortunately, many homeowners continuously take on bad habits they don’t know might be jeopardizing their gutters and roofing system.
Uncontrolled Tree Growth
Trees in your yard look great. They add to your overall curb appeal. However, when they are growing too close to your roof, they can be a source of debris that may eventually end up clogging your gutters. Experts recommend managing the growth of your trees with regular trimming to prevent dead leaves, twigs and other materials from falling on your roof and into your gutters.
If regular trimming is not a possible solution, consider installing a gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet® to prevent tree debris and other things from getting into your gutters. Effective gutter guards should keep these problems at bay without sacrificing your rainwater flow handling ability.
Irregular Gutter Maintenance
When your gutters are clogged, water cannot drain properly from your roof. This could lead to a number of water-related issues on your shingles, the roof deck and the wooden support structures that hold the structure of your roof in place. Contact your local gutter company to schedule a thorough gutter cleaning at least once every season.
Alternatively, you could also keep your gutters safe from obstructions with Gutter Helmet. The concept behind this gutter protection system is simple but very effective. Plus, its exclusive design allows maximum flow handling to help keep your roof safe.
