Each day takes its toll on you little by little. With the hustle and bustle of everyday living, drinking vitamins keeps you healthy and prevents you from getting sick. You exercise to keep fit and have a regular medical checkup to ensure you are well. As the good old saying goes,“prevention is better than cure.”
When it comes to your roof, maintenance also helps prevent major repairs and replacement. If well taken care of, it could delay serious issues that may affect your roofing system wholly. When not properly maintained, its life might be shorter than expected.
Your roof needs regular checkups. Occasional wear and tear caused by environmental and weather-related factors cause the roofing membrane to age.Storm damage in Albuquerque may cause many repairs on your cracked, dimpled, and/or missing shingles.
Lack of maintenance can lead to small damages to worsen. Ideally, your roof should be inspected at least twice a year. Some warranties are not honored if the roof does not undergo maintenance checkup. Moreover, studies have shown that a roofing system that is not maintained and/or inspected will only last more or less half of its expected service life.
Use this checklist on what to inspect for on from everybodyneedsaroof.com every fall and springtime or twice a year:
• Clean gutters
