Your roof is not indestructible. In fact, its durability may be compromised after years of protecting your home. It’s ideal to be knowledgeable about your roofing’s biggest enemies. This will help you combat them and properly maintain your roof. 

Roof’s

1. Strong Weather Conditions

Intense weather conditions can be very damaging to your roof. Storm, hail and strong winds are serious threats to your roof’s integrity. Over the years, your roof may grow weak against these adverse weather events. The best way of protecting your roof in return is to properly maintain it so it can stand strong against the harsh weather. 

2. Moisture

Your residential roof repair contractor may have warned you of the damage moisture can do to your roof. Moisture can be very sneaky when harming your roof. To prevent moisture on your roof, fill in any holes in your roofing system.

3. Debris

Debris may seem harmless to your roof, but it can be damaging, too. Accumulated debris and dirt on your roof can start a fire when exposed to too much heat. Debris hitting your roof during a storm can cause bruising and gaps. You should always keep your roof and surroundings clean to prevent roof damage from debris. 

4. Harmful UV Rays

Too much heat can be harmful to your roof. It can weaken your roof, especially if your roof is aging. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can easily dry out your shingles and may cause them to break. It’s advised to upgrade your roofing to materials that are heat-resistant to preserve your roof.
