Avoid a Roofing Emergency This Summer with Proper Roof Maintenance
Summer should be a worry-free season full of outdoor activities and family fun. Unfortunately, it can also be a season of overwhelming heat, harmful UV rays, and storms.

In the meantime, here are some tips to avoid a roofing emergency this summer, with proper roof maintenance.
Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Regular inspection of your roof by both you and a professional can go a long way in preventing summer roofing emergencies. Every so often, take a look at your roof and check for abnormalities like loose or missing shingles, cracked, or split asphalt, or leaks.
Calling for a professional inspection can also alert you to small issues before they become costly, even dangerous problems. It’s critical to contact a professional roofer as soon as you become aware of any problems. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your roof, and save you money.
Proper Gutter Maintenance
Clogged gutters can cause water to build up on the roof and eventually cause erosion which will lead to leaks. Additionally, the weight from the overflowing gutters can cause tears and cracks in other areas of the roof. It’s important to clean the gutters at least 2–3 times a year.
Storm Preparedness
To protect your roof from summer emergencies, consider purchasing storm-resistant shingles. These special shingles will offer extra protection from hail, high winds, and the harsh storms that summer can bring.
Proper Ventilation
Proper ventilation in the attic and roof area will reduce moisture. This will help keep the roof from rotting, and keep shingles from curling and becoming loose. A professional will be able to help you choose which ventilation system is right for you.
Trim Trees
A large percentage of roofing emergencies are the result of fallen trees or branches. Regular trimming and pruning of all trees on your property can help you easily avoid this common danger.
Add Protective Features
Adding some protective features to your roof before summer can help you avoid roofing emergencies. These features can include gutter guards to keep out debris, properly sized downspouts, and reflective roof coating that will lower the surface temperature and prevent damage.
