Learn About Roofing Maintenance With Deerfield IL Residential Roofing Company

By Jay Dy


A Deerfield IL Residential Roofing and Siding company would like to talk to you about regularly scheduled roof maintenance. The expected lifetime of your roof is entirely related to how rapidly minor problems are identified and remedied, as well as how frequently it's inspected. U. S. Government studies have shown that an average roof lasts less than 5 years prior to leakage.

Premature roof failure is caused by a number of factors - poor design and workmanship, weathering and faulty materials, mechanical damage and trapped moisture. What are some of the benefits of regularly scheduled roof maintenance?

Having semi-annual roof inspections gives you the chance to catch any issues early on. The roofing professional will assess the perimeter of the roof and the flashings to see if there has been water penetration. When the spring starts, the inspection can reveal any damage caused by the weather conditions in the winter. In the fall, an inspection will identify any issues that need to be remedied before the winter begins.

When an inspection is being conducted, the roofing professional assesses the roof and the inside of the house. He looks for water stains, and cracks in the ceilings and walls. He will document his findings and let you know of any repairs and preventative measures that need to be taken.

An inspection consists of checking out parts of the roof such as the fascia and edging, joint covers, roof drains, roof surface, and the supporting structures. The roofing company will also look for standing water that could potentially cause leaks and the accumulation of moisture in the house.

Maintenance includes keeping your roof free and clear of debris, keeping all drainage systems functioning and clear, repairing or eliminating any areas with ponding, and monitoring any sloped roofs that have overhangs to create ice dams, and the addition of insulation to your attic, if necessary.

Roof inspection frequency is determined by several variables, including the age of your roof, what type of surface it has, the geographic area you live in, and of course weather conditions. By inspecting your roof surfaces regularly, and maintaining all drains, the lifespan of your roof will be prolonged, your property value will be increased, and you will save money that might otherwise be spent on emergency roof repair.
