The weather has suddenly changed to send a refreshing cold front to Northern Virginia. Though this means it’s time to close the pool and start looking to fall activities, it also means that we need to keep roofing maintenance in mind. Fall doesn’t mean that it’s time to roast marshmallows and enjoy some cider, but it’s also hurricane season.
You may be aware that hurricane Florence is coming our way. Whether the storm loses power on its way here or remains a category 4 by the time arrives on Friday morning, only time will tell. But there’s one thing we do know at Noble Roofing— that this storm is going to bring some serious rain and your roof needs to be in top shape to handle it.
Fall is generally a rainy season anyway in Northern Virginia, and the professionals at Noble Roofing have you covered. Whether you need emergency tarping after a storm or need to do some routine maintenance to keep your roof in working order, we have your back.
Don’t know how to get started or what to look for in Fall roofing maintenance? Here are 3 quick tips.
3 Quick Fall Roofing Maintenance Tips
1. Get a roof inspection.
The easiest way to spot potential problems and maintenance needs is to get a routine roof inspection. We will examine your entire roof system and inform you of any possible things you can do to prevent more costly repairs in the future.
2. Get your gutters cleaned.
A roof that has passed inspection isn’t enough. You should also make sure that your gutters are free of dirt and leaves. A strategic time to get gutter cleaning is after all the leaves have fallen so that you won’t have to get another cleaning when more leaves fall into your gutters. Better yet, you may just want to go for a new installation of seamless gutters if your current gutter system is falling apart. Make sure to keep the drainage system of your roof free-flowing to protect the integrity of your roof and your house’s foundation!
3. Trim tree limbs and branches.
Before a storm hits, you definitely want to do any damage control you can. This involves removing the chances of harmful debris damaging your home. Tree limbs and branches are two major culprits in roofing damage that happen when high winds and rain strike. During an inspection, if we see any branches that are looming around your home, we will let you know which ones look like a threat.
