What Is Included In Roof Maintenance

The professional roofing contractor should then check certain areas and the most common parts they pay attention to are:

Debris On The Roof, Gutters, Or Valleys:

No matter the type of material a roof is made of, debris, especially tree debris like palm fronds may severely damage a roof. A common issue of this is when the leaves and sticks are left piling up on the roof, and eventually, creates a dam. 

In which case, this causes the water to go back up underneath the shingles or tiles then create a leak. Another typical case is when debris in gutters plug up the downspouts or may even slow down the flow of water. This may then cause the gutters to have an overflow and create unwanted moisture beneath the concrete roof tiles.

Cracks Or Wear On The Pipe Boots:

Another purpose for roof maintenance is to prevent any leaks on the roof, and one of the usual reasons for leakage is cracks on the pipe boots.

Rodents Or Animal Intervention: 

Professional roofing companies may also check the attic for any signs of small animals as it is the perfect home for them. Although it may seem harmless at first, these small animals may cause lots of damage such as the possibility of holes that may create some leaks or worse, start house fires due to electrical wires being ruined. 

There may be some more such as checking for missing flashings or ventilation inspection, but they may all depend on the contractor. The professional may inspect more depending on the situation but here are just the basic and commonly inspected areas on the roof.
