Many people choose tile roofs for their longevity and elegance. Additionally, roof tiles come in various durability, weight, cost, and appearance options. If you want an energy-efficient, aesthetically appealing, and distinctive roof, tiles are the best option. Although tiled roofs are solid and resistant to frost, water, insect damage, and natural elements, routine care and maintenance are essential. Campbell Roofing has an experienced team of experts ready to help you maximize your investment by providing preventive maintenance. Here are ways to maintain tiled roofs.
Conduct Regular Inspections
Homeowners should conduct routine inspections for superficial problems like leaks, cracks, water damage, mold, and weather-induced deterioration. However, working with a professional roofing contractor is crucial for a more in-depth assessment. We leverage extensive industry knowledge and expertise to pinpoint issues before things get out of hand. Many inexperienced individuals need to notice minor signs of damage, resulting in costly repairs or premature roof replacement. Please schedule a consultation with our experts to save time and money by addressing potential problems beforehand.
Carry Out Top Flashing
Roof flashing is conducted using thin metal or plastic to reinforce weak areas. As expert roofers, we use galvanized steel to prevent water from entering critical areas and causing severe damage. Roof flashing is used primarily around features such as skylights. Vents, or chimneys. The goal is to make water run down the side of the flashing rather than seep through the roof. Always hire a professional contractor to install roof flashing, ensuring safety protocols and building codes are followed.
Clean Frequently
Most people focus on their living spaces and forget that the roof needs a little TLC occasionally. If you don’t clean your roof regularly, it will form a green pigment around the edges, affecting appeal and durability. The most effective and easiest way to clean your roof is by using a power washer, but don’t use too much power to prevent damage. Ensure the sprayer is at a safe distance if you are using high-pressure water. If you prefer a hands-off approach, hire a roofing contractor to handle the heavy lifting.
Remove any Debris
Areas that experience high winds are bound to have dirt and debris on the roofs. The risk of clogged gutters and water overflow during rainy seasons increases if you reside in such an area. Overflowing water can seep into the crevices and your home, affecting the structural integrity. Clear the buildup on your roof regularly, even if you don’t wash it. This goes a long way in ensuring everything remains in tip-top shape until the next cleaning appointment.
Repair When Needed
Minor damages can grow over time, causing devastating injuries. Whether replacing a broken tile to enhance aesthetics or replacing cracked shingles, your roof will last longer than ignoring minor problems. We recommend working with a professional contractor to ensure long-term solutions that save money and time.
