Roofs generally have long life spans ranging from between 20 years all the way to a century. This is, of course, dependent on a number of factors, especially the quality of the material and its installation. That said, there are certain things you can do to make your roof transcend its expected life span.
Crown Roofing LTD , the top Vancouver roofing company, looks at three of these ways:
Regular Inspections
Since your roof is all the way up, any damage it may have sustained may not be noticeable immediately. The damage may have worsened to the point beyond repair before you even notice something is wrong with it. With regular roof inspections, you will be able to stay abreast of your roof’s condition.
When you call us for an inspection, we will conduct a thorough assessment of the entire roof, with focus on potential problem areas. If there are spots that need patching or other repairs, count on us to get it done right the first time. As the top roofing contractor in Vancouver, we even offer emergency services so you won’t have to suffer through roof leaks any longer than necessary.
Clean Roof and Gutters
At any point, your roof will likely be home to leaves, pine needles, and other debris. When these combine with rain or snowmelt, they flow into your gutters, block them, and pave the way for moisture damage, such as ice dams, mold growth, and rotted framework. Keeping your roof and gutter clear of these debris is the best way to avoid this costly damage.
Proper Attic Ventilation
Too much heat and moisture in the attic can cause the roof rafters and the sheathing to rot while buckling the shingles at the same time. Make sure your attic is able to circulate air properly so that any heat or moisture inside can find its way out.
